Review

F.M. Cornog's art is based on some striking contradictions, foremost being that he records as East River Pipe, a moniker inspired by a sewer duct near his apartment in Queens, but he's impatient with those who don't appreciate beauty. The formerly homeless Cornog recovered from debilitating mental and substance-abuse problems to record a series of striking Brian-Wilson-on-a-severe-budget albums, the austere Shining Hours providing a gateway to the lot of them. Recorded in his apartment on an eight-track ministudio (with two malfunctioning tracks), it's rife with fragile, dark-hued pop tunes about struggle and survival. The tunes are assembled on the delicate frame of Cornog's minimal guitar and percussion; his vocals give them flesh and blood. This 15-song collection proves that the path to wisdom passes through some seedy surroundings, but there's grace in the hearts of the vanquished souls you pass along the way. --Steven StolderEast River Pipe is the music of one F.M. Cornog. Shining Hours In A Can was his debut full length release. Compiling a series of 7 inch singles, EP's, cassette-only releases, and new material, the album was originally released by Ajax Records in the US in 1994. The 2 bonus tracks are 'Hide My Life Away From You' & 'Miracleland'. 17 tracks in all.
