East River Pipe - Ah dictaphone & Make a deal with the city & She's a real good time


East River Pipe est F.M. Cornog (Frederick M. Cornog). Un cas à part, un joyau. Après un parcours de vie chaotique qui le mènera dans les années 80 jusque dans la rue, à New York, il peut compter sur une bonne étoile : Barbara Powers. Elle le repère alors qu'il fait la manche et le sort de son errance. Elle crée le label Hell Gate et publie un album-cassette et les premiers EP's d'East River Pipe au tout début des années 90. Son premier album sort aux Etats-Unis sur Ajax Records. Repéré par Sarah Records, il sort ensuite trois albums et deux singles avec le label de Bristol. Quand celui-ci cesse son activité, il trouve refuge chez Merge Records qui éditera tout ses albums et une grande majorité de ses singles suivants. Des disques tous enregistrés dans son home studio et qui font de lui l'un des plus grands songwriters américains. Le magazine Rolling Stone a dit de F.M. Cornog qu'il est "le plus doué des nouveaux solitaires". Quant au New York Times, le journal l'a décrit comme "le Brian Wilson de l'enregistrement maison". Rien que ça !
