Between The Earth and Where

Unheard of Hope is thrilled to announce the new collaboration between Jarrett Gilgore (Phét Phét Phét) and Anthony Pirog (Messthetics) with the lead single “Golden Hour” LISTEN HERE

When saxophonist Jarrett Gilgore and guitarist Anthony Pirog first got together in a Baltimore rehearsal space, the connection was instant. "We were speaking the same language immediately," Pirog recalls. Out of that effortless chemistry comes Between The Earth and Where—a willfully beautiful, immersive, and richly melodic conversation between saxophone and guitar, hovering in the space between the earth and where.

Bound by a shared love for lush harmony and memorable melody, Gilgore and Pirog have crafted an album that feels like a waking dream. It is a collection of short, poignant musical statements—or as Pirog warmly describes them, "a musical hug"—that deftly balances a soothing, ethereal atmosphere with a subtle, disquieting emotional depth. The album moves seamlessly across landscapes of sound, from intimate studio sessions co-produced and recorded by Brendan Canty (Fugazi, The Messthetics), to the immediacy of live performances at Washington DC's beloved DIY arts venue, Rhizome, to remote recordings captured during the quiet, uncertain months of the pandemic.
