Silver Liz

Pittsburgh via Brooklyn via Chicago via Pennsylvania Silver Liz is a Brooklyn-based duo formed by Carrie and Matt Wagner (M Wagner), who first connected in a college practice room after Carrie overheard Matt talking about The Strokes. After relocating to Chicago in 2015, they honed their sound amid the city’s indie scene. Named after a Warhol painting, Silver Liz debuted opening for Kero Kero Bonito. Their LPs blend jangle pop, shoegaze, and dream pop with futuristic textures. Their latest album, III, released on their Extremely Pure label, is their most personal yet—crafted from Voice Memos, refined in Ableton, and recorded in Matt’s hometown of Johnstown, PA and their Brooklyn apartment after quitting day jobs. Matt’s 2024 solo debut, We Could Stay, explored experimental electronic sound design, earning a 7.6 from Pitchfork and bookings at Brooklyn clubs. That palette seeps into III, which channels grief, isolation, and change. www.silverlizmusic.com Go Pengs
