Piers Faccini

British-born singer-songwriter Piers Faccini‘s fifth solo studio album, Between Dogs and Wolves, will be released in North America by Six Degrees Records on September 10, 2013 and on his newly launched Beating Drum label in Europe, on September 23, 2013. An intimate suite of songs on the themes of love and desire, Between Dogs and Wolves depicts the unknowable and indefinable spaces between these themes, spirit and animal, between the wild and the tamed. “In France, where I live,” says Faccini, “there is an expression to describe twilight. It is called entre chien et loup, between dog and wolf. I wanted to use this metaphor for the album title, to transcribe the moment between day and night to the personal landscape of relationships, and to the stories we live, falling in and out of love.”
