English guitarist, singer, and songwriter Marty Willson-Piper is best known for his long association with the Australian alt-rock band the Church. Often recognized for his 12-string electric guitar work, Willson-Piper is a well-regarded solo artist, having released his own jangly, psychedelia-infused folk and rock albums, including 1988's Art Attack, 1992's Spirit Level, and 2009's Nightjar. A member of the Church from 1980 to 2013, he contributed to such classic albums as Heyday and Starfish. He also leads two separate duos: Noctorum with producer/instrumentalist Andy "Dare" Mason, and MOAT with composer/multi-instrumentalist Niko Röhlcke, the latter of which released Poison Stream in 2021.
