      Album Description:

       

      Let’s offer a toast to the return of Chris Orrick, rap’s poet laureate of imperial decline. It’s springtime in the dystopia, the birds are coughing up blood, the bees are dying at an alarming rate, and Michigan’s most acerbic misanthrope has emerged from winter hibernation with a clutch of doomed stanzas about cold pizza and liver destruction. His latest for Mello Music Group, Out to Sea, might not be easy listening, but it’s impossible to ignore.

      Consider Orrick the wry heir to the morbid humor of Mitch Hedberg, the barfly blues of Charles Bukowski, and the caustic rust belt satire of Michael Moore. He’s an iconoclast from a proud tradition—a thoughtful and sensitive realist who uses laughter as a way to stifle the tears. The album begins with an act of contrition: a disembodied voice shakily addresses an audience: “if I brought you down, thank you very much for showing me where I’m at. I guess I don’t really have much more to do.”

      But it’s more than words, as it usually is. The voice wobbles into a weird space, trembling and swaying, unsure whether it’s about to crack up or weep inconsolably. The audience doesn’t seem to know what to do—nervously giggling and half-groaning. Then he continues, “if you don’t want me to continue then I guess I won’t.” Before it fades out, he again adds, “thank you for showing me where I’m at.”

      It’s testament to Orrick’s self-lacerating genius that he can’t offer anything less than uncomfortable, sliced-to-the-marrow honesty. This is where he’s at and there is never a second of subterfuge. He will be the first to call himself a drunken, overweight Midwesterner riddled with social anxiety, consumed by fear and loathing, whose primary gift and weapon is writing songs and tape recording them.

      If it hurts to listen to this record, it should. It’s an anvil-split hangover, a brutal unflinching document of a 30-year old man terrified that these words could be his last. He’s watched too many friends die young of heart attacks and overdoses, cancer and suicide. He tries to numb himself because he feels too much. He is too self-aware for self-pity, but too set in his ways to change. This is reality rap of a different strain—one that lives up to Prodigy’s axiom to put “your lifetime between the paper lines.”

      Out to Sea began without any overarching ideas—writing as a way of figuring out what he needed to say and as a form of catharsis. Themes of stormy weather and disastrous climate started to materialize from the fog of word.  It was an easy leap to link them with mental illness and the diseased discourse that has infected the political climate in the Trump era. Out to Sea is an attempt to communicate beyond reductive binaries—not some naïve both-sides-ism bullshit but a fragile and lasting document sketched through a vale of sadness and a haunted concern for humanity. 

      There are, of course, the songs, messages in a bottle that alternate between comic sketches and S.O.S flares. It starts “Out to Sea,” a rum-soaked missive about being alienated from society.” “Funny Things” is a poison pill slipped to the far right, who offer mean-spirited jokes throughout our downward spiral. “Liquor Store Hustle” is a hilarious vignette about a corner store run to buy the most disgusting food that you’d drunkenly want to eat. While “A Dying Man” artfully interpolates Elliott Smith’s “Fond Farewell,” a harrowing portrait of substance abuse. The most devastating of all might be “Wallow Hard,” where Orrick stares into the abyss, considering whether all of this effort has been a waste, and assessing whether he should just give up the ghost or become one himself.

      In the hands of a lesser artist, these are themes and moments that could seem melodramatic or overwrought but with Orrick, there is a rare sense of consequences and lament, a brilliant gift for dark poesy and sly self-deprecating humor. It is music to cope and as a form of survival, a chance to find meaning in a world that frequently seems bereft of it—a record that will leave you shaken to the core, reconsidering the radiation and delirium that gradually has consumed modern life. If we still exist in a few decades, we will be able to return to Out to Sea, and listen to the soundtrack of a society that seems hopelessly adrift.

      Return Policy / FAQ

      FAQ

      When will my order ship?

      Our team is working hard to get all orders shipping as quickly as possible and we expect all orders to ship within 5-10 business days after order.  You will receive a tracking number in your e-mail when it ships. We apologize for any delays and appreciate your patience & support. Note, we are a small business and we do not have a large staff - it takes us a little bit to process orders depending on what else is going on with releases, music creation, and business.

      What about pre-orders?

      We fully anticipate pre-orders to ship on or before the date posted on the product page. Please make sure you check the release date before purchasing to avoid any miscommunication. If you are ordering multiple items, all items will ship together on the latest release date, when all products are available. If you’d like to receive items as they become available, please order the items separately.

      Who can I talk to about my order?

      Before you reach out, please check your order & product pages to make sure all the items in your order are available. In a group order, all items will ship with the latest release date when all the products are available. If you have a question about a damaged order, changing order information or cancelling an order, you can send an e-mail to info@mellomusicgroup.com. Please include your order number so we can best understand the problem and help you.

       

      Canada, EU & UK Orders:

      Any VAT Taxes imposed by your country are your responsibility to pay upon receipt. Each country has it's own import rules so please be familiar with your country's rules prior to ordering. We can not cancel orders due to unexpected tarifs - sadly the political domain is out of our control. If tarifs are imposed after an order is placed we are not able to cancel the order. Sadly, many international orders that are not picked up - due to tariffs - are destroyed and we are unable to refund them.  For clarity: There are no refunds on returned orders not accepted by the customer because of tariffs.


      RETURN POLICY

      Returns & Exchanges

      Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on non-damaged music or clothing items at this time.

      Damaged Items

      If you receive a damaged item, please send an e-mail to info@mellomusicgroup.com with a photo or video of the damage to help us understand the problem and address any potential issues with future orders. If the product is still in stock, we will replace the damaged item. If it is sold out, we will work with you to either return your money or send you a comparable item.

       

      We can not refund or exchange orders because of split vinyl sides. We have strict quality control both coming into and out of our warehouse and we use the most secure packaging available to get LPs to you safely and in the highest quality. Unfortunately, split vinyl sides can happen if shipping companies aren't careful with your product and that risk should be considered before purchasing.

      Unclaimed Packages

      Lost packages are usually the result of entering an address incorrectly, moving before the item arrives, etc. When this happens, we will reach out and e-mail you to verify your address and resend your package. If we don’t hear back after 14 days, we will refund your order.
