Nurtured by the gentle rhythms of the Mediterranean, Pier, also known as Pierfrancesco Dessì, hails from a quaint industrial town nestled along the southern coast of Sardinia. Departing from his studies in architecture and a brief interlude in a metal-mechanics factory in Finland, Pier found solace in Dublin's vibrant music scene, where he has since established his artistic identity.
Drawing from a diverse palette of influences including 90’s alt rock, singer-songwriter introspection, and the rich tapestry of Sardinian folk, Pier crafts a distinctive sonic landscape uniquely his own, garnering attention both domestically and abroad. His music seamlessly oscillates from ethereal ambience to raw intensity, propelled by commanding vocals that evoke comparisons to luminaries such as Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, James Blake, Cocteau Twins and Slowdive.
The latest single “Like A Moth To A Flame” anticipates the release of Pier’s debut EP "The Harvest", out on April 26th.
The EP was recorded and co-produced with Ber Quinn ( Lisa Hannigan / John Grant / James Vincent McMorrow / The Divine Comedy etc.) in Dublin’s Sonic Studio and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty of Nomograph Mastering ( Lana Del Rey / Rufus Wainwright / Taylor Swift / Soccer Mommy etc.) in LA.
