East River Pipe : Gasoline Age

Descripción

Saluted by ROLLING STONE as ?the most gifted of the new loners,? F.M. Cornog, aka East River Pipe, originally released the Gasoline Age in 1999. Named Album of the Year by both THE NEW YORK TIMES and England's THE INDEPENDENT, the Gasoline Age was inspired in large part by nighttime drives on New Jersey's seedy Route 22. Automobile imagery appears throughout the album: cyber cars, stolen cars, pimpmobiles. The cars all seem to carry with them a romanticism that emphasizes even further Cornog's gift of creating a lyrical mood without tying his flights of fancy down to specifics.
