A bit more mopping up to do. Until the curtain falls in 2023. Then 2024 barges rudely I imagine, and we start all over again with all the strength we can muster.
Here's Anthony Pirog am American Punk Wars American veteran. Born in Pennslylvania but based in Washington D.C. The grandiosely entitled The Nepenthe Series Vol 1 is the record under consideration here..
It's an Eno-esque project. One of those records where you divine that whoever is behind this was probably very good at Mathematics, or 'Math' at secondary school or High School.
It's mostly instrumental. And Pirog has roped in some high profile collaborations from his youthful days on the barracades or front line; John Frusciante, Nels Cline, Andy Summers. The usual guitar toting veterans.
It's all very tasteful, background stuff. The people involved all clearly know their stuff and do it here. In some ways it's the kind of slow moving and uneventful pretension a lot of people become inclined to as they make their way thrugh their sixties. But there are some moments of incredible beauty here and some will absolutely love it.. Please give it a go.
