No one confronts the abyss better than Chris Orrick. The Michigan ex-factory worker formerly known as Red Pill has spent the last half-decade documenting industrial decay, familial pain, and struggles with addiction better than almost anyone inhabiting this poisoned soil. It's somewhere between Charles Bukowski and Michael Moore, or maybe Atmosphere if he couldn't ignore the arsenic in the air. As Orrick tells it, "Portraits," his latest album for Mello Music Group is a return to form. "I tried to strip everything down to what I think I'm best at: simple, concise portraits of who I am," Orrick says. "Whether that be finding myself through self-portraits, portraits of everyday workers, portraits of the current political moment or portraits of myself told through the eyes of people I encounter daily." From the corroded arteries of the blue-collar heartland, Orrick emerges as one of the most incisive and savage critics of Trump's America. If the American dream is dead, he unflinchingly lays the blame on avaricious corporations, crude demagogues, and structural racism. There's nothing polemical about it: just warm-hearted, gin-flooded depictions of a life where there are few right answers but a litany of wrong ones. The somber piano-based melancholy and rugged drums of "Portraits" thump via an arsenal of producers including L'Orange, Exile, Apollo Brown, and Onra.

I bought 4 for my daughter as they are so much cheaper here than anywhere else else. They are all gorgeous. Hazel is beautiful and a great figurine to have. I'm very pleased with the site and the purchase
Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
