Description:: East River Pipe: F.M. Cornog.
Recording information: Queens, New York, NY.
Queens, New York resident F.M. Cornog is a one-man band in the Stephin Merritt/Magnetic Fields tradition, originally renowned as the first American artist ever signed to legendary British indie Sarah Records. Cornog records by himself, on a cassette machine in his living room, and initially self-released cassettes on his own Hell`s Gate label. He shares Merritt`s taste for low-budget solo reinterpretations of soul-stirring `60s pop archetypes, but the comparison breaks down after that.
For one thing, Cornog uses more guitars in one song than Merritt might employ over the course of a full album. More importantly, where Merritt`s often jaundiced and cynical lyrics are laced with dry irony and goofy similes, Cornog`s emotionally direct songs are often genuinely dark, with lyrics befitting such titles as "I Am A Small Mistake" and "Prettiest Whore." Nevertheless, his pretty, ringing guitar-pop melodies create their own uplift, making MEL a fascinating dichotomy of light and shadow.
