Pier, solo moniker for Pierfrancesco Dessì, is set to generate a significant buzz with the release of his latest single, “The Harvest”. This captivating track is a sneak peek into his much-anticipated debut EP of the same name slated for release in spring 2024.
The Harvest initially started as a dare. My musician friend Abbacaxi was making fun of my slow and sad songs and dared me to write something danceable, so I went home and thought “What if The Blaze and The Scratch wrote a song together?”.
Truth is the lyrics are still as introspective as in my other songs, but at least in this you can dance the melancholy away.
More broadly speaking, it’s about concluding a chapter, just as much as starting a new one.
There’s a bit of my family history too. I think it was September when I first started writing some words for it, which is wine making season in Sardinia, so I guess my mind went there a bit too… Me and all my cousins would just run around my grandad’s small vineyard, while the adults would help him out harvesting the grapes and setting everything up to make the wine. Eventually we were all held to higher working standards as we grew up…
“The Harvest EP” is poised to be a defining moment in his musical journey, promising a collection of songs that showcase the depth and diversity of his artistry.
