East River Pipe is F.M. Cornog, who writes, performs, records, and mixes all his records at his NJ home. This is his fifth album and first collection of new recordings since 1999's "The Gasoline Age". Shimmering pop gems that celebrate both the joy and the melancholy, the love and the loss, the hope and the despair that make up the fabric of our lives. "F.M. Cornog is a little bit Brian Wilson and a little bit Charles Bukowski: a guy capable of keeping one foot firmly planted in the gutter as he reaches heavenward with celestial pop mini-symphonies"--Request. "Perhaps the most gifted of the new loners"--Rolling Stone.
