Detroit MC Chris Orrick just dropped his latest album, Out To Sea, on the always reliable Mello Music Group today (May 24th) and I've had one full pass through the record. Unsurprisingly solid, with a throwback vibe to the production - by Man@Work - and a thoroughly now tone to the lyrics which is no surprise when reading that:
This album is dedicated to the damage done by the 2016 United States Presidential Election, Social Media and the 24 Hour News Cycle.
My favourite cut on the album is "Spent A Lot Of Time" built atop a great jazzy loop with piano and sax dancing on a boom-bap percussive note, all in service of a deeply philosophical and questioning set of verses.
