notes
This is not a throw back. This is not someone singing about nature in it's simplist form. Natural environment does find it's way into Garrett's songs but not as much as the complexity of unanswered questions and chemical inbalances. A world between Tropic Of Cancer, and In An Aeroplane Over The Sea. Garrett has spent recent years in Echo Park, Davis, and now San Francisco. The music itself is comfortable and well executed by the help of bay area musicians Matt Bauer, Jolie Holland, Safa Shokrai (The Drift) Jake Mann (Zim-Zims), and mixed by Nigel Pavao (Last Of The Blacksmiths). The songs were recorded over six months in five seperate locations from studios to closets, with emphasis on subtlety and distance. The album is equally painful as it is beautiful, and his voice is a compliment to any lazy morning or wine-soaked evening.

"The nine-woozy, modest compisitions that make up the album seem slight at first, allowing the listener to drift in and out of the songs as they build up their sun bleached, oddly familiar melodies"-California Aggie
Pierce knows how to convince within a couple of songs.
author: AltCountry.NL"It is not easy to make a lasting impression in such a minimalist environment. But, Pierce knows how to convince within a couple of songs."-Altcountry.NL

author: Aquarius Records"Like A Moth, the follow up to singer/songwriter Garrett Pierce's debut reveals fresh development and depth...honing his songcraft into something considerably more focused, as well as fleshing out his pallete of insturments. Simply check out the easy going confidence in Northern Stare and The Fireworks Were Fish Exploding. It definetly makes for a lusher more fully realized overall picture. Warm and comfortably familiar. -Aquarius Records

author: SF Weekly"This guy is good...a poet/singer whose songs manage the delicate, the folky, and the starry-eyed."-S.F. Weekly
