Album Description:
Cryptozoologist Chris Orrick died last March. The Detroit vocalist with the same name woke up and read the news of his namesake’s death. This sparked a journey into a subculture of folklore and undiscovered cryptid species. That seed grew over the months into a dark, industrial, and abstract record: I Read That I Was Dead.

Chris Orrick dives into a more balanced extrospection of the world beyond his head. Recorded on a Russian mic and with the occasional Polymoon filter, the vocals add a chaotic quality to this record. Monsters as metaphors lurk throughout the heavy abstract Hip-hop album, helmed by fellow Michigan producer, The Lasso. He delivers a tight, enigmatic production that wanders between a dark night on a moonlit moor and a drug-trip into an industrial wonderland.

A truly inspired collaboration, the two artists found themselves creating and recording tracks at Lasso’s lair, crafting a completely original soundscape built of synths, bass guitars, and drum kits. Guest feature Quelle Chris joins Chris Orrick & The Lasso on Specimens with the perfect psychoactive verse. To perfect the sound, the pair traveled to Athens to mix the record with legendary sound engineer Drew Vandenberg (Of Montreal, Toro y Moi, L’Orange).

The album explores society and self from the vantage point of a man who chooses to live in exile like an artist escaping a successful coup, unsure of the future and his place in it. The record will be released November 15th on Mello Music Group.

Recorded at Chateau Lasso in Detroit, MI

Mixed by Drew Vandenberg at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, GA

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?

We can not refund or exchange orders because of split vinyl sides.
