<i>Terrible Good</i>, featuring producer and guitarist Gerry Leonard (David Bowie), bassist Tony Shanahan (Patti Smith) and drummer Yuval Lion (David Byrne), is an edgy guitar album that forges an extraordinary alloy of 70's downtown New York punk and Irish alternative rock.

There are nine originals and a cover of TomRapp's (PearlsBeforeSwine)"Rocket Man." Somehow pounding and soaring at the same time, the songs soulfully testify to the awful and awesome everyday, the human predicament – It's Terrible Good.

An Irish-American musician in the truest, and most literal, sense, Pierce Turner lives half the year in his hometown of Wexford, Ireland, and the other half in his longtime adopted hometown of New York City. Both places are reflected in his songs, which frequently move between these two different worlds, linked through his keen observations and ruminations. His music expresses a duality too, sliding between the earthly and the ethereal, the miraculous and the mundane, the pure and profane. And it's present in the title of his thirteenth and latest album, <i>Terrible Good</i>. Turner loves the way the phrase's meaning gets twisted by using "a negative out of context with the positive."
