Pipe-eye is the whimsical solo project of Cook Craig, a multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with the prolific Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Embarking on this personal musical journey allows Craig to explore his creative impulses and individual storytelling in a realm where he is unbounded by the collaborative nature of his main band. Pipe-eye serves as a conduit for his more eccentric and exploratory musical ideas, often characterized by quirky, lo-fi aesthetics and charmingly idiosyncratic lyrics.

Since the project's inception, Pipe-eye has released a string of beguiling recordings that delve into various corners of psych-pop and experimental soundscapes. Notable releases include the fanciful "Cosmic Blip" (2015) and the more developed full-length album "Laugh About Life" (2017), which sees Craig refining his craft with earworm melodies and an endearing, off-kilter approach to songwriting. The 2019 EP "Inside/Outside" continues to expand on Cook Craig's distinct vision, offering listeners a blend of infectious grooves and daydream-like narratives. Each Pipe-eye release sees Craig further establishing a unique solo identity, inviting listeners into a sonic world that's as enchanting as it is peculiar.
