People Always Kill The Most Beautiful Things


The only East River Pipe album I've spent any time with. I suspect others are great too, but I've always been afraid to destroy the magic of this one, by comparison.

Nearly every song is a small soaring-melody-and-wry-lyrics masterpiece of low-budget high-fidelity home recording. Some may not like the canned beats or synth sounds, but the songs they wrap around could carry much heavier weight as far as I'm concerned. If I could write songs this good, I'd die a happy man.
