Review

Like many bedroom visionaries, East River Pipe's home-studio world is full of solitary aches and slightly desperate desires. What gives The Gasoline Age its added kick is that it's about a guy who trades the city for the suburbs, and buys a car hoping to escape to a better life. It's beautiful low-fi pop, brimming with small triumphs, like hitting a string of green lights, and even bigger disappointments, like driving to Atlantic City praying all the way for a big score that never arrives. --Keith Moerer Welcome to the insular world of F.M. Cornog. A staunch indie-vidualist who creates shambling rock anthems in the privacy of a home studio, Cornog usually works best when he's alone. Of course, he still moonlights with those subversive Nashville cats Lambchop, but Cornog's solo stuff really showcases his masterful pop craftsmanship. On the shimmering song "Wholesale Lies," Cornog summons the ghost of prime-era Beach Boys with splendid results. While Cornog's voice is a fairly rough instrument, his off-hand singing complements the fringe-dwelling imagery of ERP's unusual sound. As a one-man band, Cornog draws inspiration from the romantic world of automobiles. With eccentric compositions like "Shiny, Shiny Pimpmobile," "Cybercar," and "14th Street Stolen Car Club," Cornog takes this urban experience to an entertaining, lo-fi extreme.--Mitch Myers
