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 its delivery and interstellar in its 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.' - AllMusic.Dog Daze\u003cbr\u003eDawn Cloud\u003cbr\u003eHoneymoon Room\u003cbr\u003eSitting Under Stars\u003cbr\u003eThe Severing\u003cbr\u003eAdonna The Painter\u003cbr\u003eDanger Play\u003cbr\u003ePocket Poem\u003cbr\u003eMori Point\u003cbr\u003ePart And Particle\u003cbr\u003eBeecher\u003cbr\u003eSpinal Fusion\u003cbr\u003eUntitled Atlas\u003cbr\u003eDeetjen","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131836219777,"sku":"1217823","price":15.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Gri-ZivnL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766953659","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1217823","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
