{"product_id":"anthony-pirog-pocket-poem","title":"Anthony Pirog- Pocket Poem (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eANTHONY PIROG - guitar and electronics MICHAEL FORMANEK - acoustic and electric bass CHES SMITH - drums, percussion and electronics While it might confound those fixated with an artist's niche in the marketplace, guitarist Anthony Pirog knows little of stylistic limitations-in point of fact, Pirog's latest opus brings to mind the beloved Duke Ellington adage: Beyond category. Initially based in jazz, Pirog's seeming objective is to be a \"category\" unto himself, embracing not only jazz but avant-garde and indie rock, noise, and ambient soundscapes. Pocket Poem, his second under his own name and his first since joining forces with 50% of DC's legendary Fugazi as Messthetics (with two releases on Dischord), is in a zone where stylistic \"handles\" matter little but the idea of music is vibrant, expansive, and kaleidoscopic. \"Anthony Pirog's work is otherworldly - feverish in it's delivery and interstellar in it's complexity - but his feet have long been planted on the ground in Washington DC... But what's the most DC thing a DC musician can do? Well, they could start a band with members of Fugazi. That would do it... \" - Guitar. Com \"So this is what all the fuss is about... [regarding] Anthony Pirog's status as a Washington, D. C. area guitar god... and for all his technical prowess, Pirog possesses a skilled composer's knack for memorable themes and melodies. \"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDog Daze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDawn Cloud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneymoon Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitting Under Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Severing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdonna the Painter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanger Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Poem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMori Ipoint 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart and Particle 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeecher 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinal Fusion 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntitled Atlas 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeetjen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984293187805,"sku":"045775046822","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3853185-2598175.jpg?v=1762927075","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/anthony-pirog-pocket-poem","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
