The Pierce Kingans

There is nobody quite like the eccentrically gifted Pierce Kingan. The Vancouver based human music engine rapidly releases impressive material. When Kingan isn’t playing with The Prettys he is working on his solo project- The Pierce Kingans​. All four of his EPs differently explore avant-garde, intimate and gonzo pop collages of sound. His lyrics are simultaneously sad, hilarious and unpredictable. His lo-fi lullabies are invitations to explore his internal dialogue. His sound belongs to him and all of his material feels incredibly lived in. Kingan is somebody that can’t ​not m​ ake music, He has devoted his life to the craft. He is an extraordinarily skilled and intelligent man who makes complicated music. This could also be said about his inspirations such as Ariel Pink, Bradford Cox, and John Maus. This kind of music is only strange if you don’t get it and if you do get it, it is brilliant. ​His songwriting ability is best utilized in this deeply personal project. It unveils the enigma that is Pierce and what’s behind that mystery is quite spectacular.
