East River Pipe
Label: MergeGenre: Pop
Mr. Cornog doesn't take himself too seriously. While his bio riffs on and on about the drug references in his new album, and rightly so, you'd expect his moniker to be a similar reference. Not the case. East River Pipe is an allusion to a broken pipe he once witnessed spewing sewage into the East River. "I imagined myself to be the pipe," he admitted in a recent podcast, "the sewage to be my songs and the river to be the world—so i was essentially spewing out meaningless pop songs into an already polluted river." His modesty is appreciated, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. You never know where you'll uncover hidden gems. F.M. Cornog has spent almost two decades with his Tascam 388 recording so-called disposable songs that you may not ever be able to get out of your head.
