Release Notes:



Distinguished guitarist, Marty Wilson-Piper has been an integral part of some of

the most influential bands of the past 20 years. Wilson-Piper has played with

The Church, The Saints, All About Eve, and Noctorum as well as releasing his

solo records. His most recent album, Nightjar has been recently released in

the United States by Second Motion Records



Nightjar was produced by Dare Mason and also features The Mood Maidens Tiare

Helberg on vocals. On this release, Marty Wilson-Piper delves into a mature

exploration of love and loss while adding a seasoned take on politics

Nightjar is a showcase for his skills as a guitarist but displays a competent

songwriting talent as well. Album opener, No One There features

Wilson-Piper s signature 12 string guitar chimes throughout this atmospheric

gem. Lullaby for the Lonely and High Down Below are sweet pop songs that

features Tiare on duet vocals



The acoustic country rocker, Feed Your Mind sways and features a supple organ

in the background. While the record treads a lot of ground, Wilson-Piper is not

content to remain in one musical genre. His inclusion of the folk inspired

Song for Victor Jara and I Must Have Fallen indicate much musical growth

from some of his earlier recordings. Nightjar is a strong release and one

that is worthy of some acclaim
