Eyes Wide In The Fire is Garrett Pierces fifth album - a project penned alone over several years, but only fully realized after collaborating with producer/multi- instrumentalist Max Hart (War on Drugs, Melissa Etheridge). The arrangements move between the intimacy of a single guitar & voice, to lush keyboards, strings, and multi-layered guitars - an homage to both his roots in the Los Angeles cafs (where he first shared his songs) as well as the Bay Area music halls where those songs found their widest audience. With a fifteen-year career spanning five albums and several side bands, Pierce has always centered his songs around the lyrics. Inspired equally by his fathers collection of 70s singer-songwriters and artists like Neutral Milk Hotel, Elliot Smith and Low.
