About this product
Is there a definitive song about Cincinnati? One that truly captures the fraught relationship with being a city both out of time and place? A Midwestern Rust Belt straddling the Southern border of the Mason-Dixon line? A city with the highest per-capita of Fortune 500 Companies with one of the highest poverty indexes? This relationship with Cincinnati truly vexes Singer/Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist Eric Dietrich on Sorry Eric's debut album, It's Okay. Composed of members of Vacation, Mardou, Homemade Drugs and Brindle, Sorry Eric tackles this love-hate relationship head-on with spiky, fist-pumping post-punk of the proper-noun dropping InchCincinnatiInch, Evil, Vile Main Street YuppiesInch and InchIt's OkayInch. Dietrich internalizes these external struggles on declarative spoken-word songs like InchEarthly InsultsInch and InchBicycle ExperimentsInch where characters tackle existential questions following funerals or during suburban bicycle rides. Sorry Eric's pop sensibilities can be best understood in their lineage to New Zealand's Flying Nun Records from the undeniable melodic sensibility and slightly skewed perspective on each song's composition to Robert Scott's (The Bats) painting on the LP cover, the spiritual connection runs deep.

We died when we started writing this album, declare Sorry, the London-based five-piece preparing to COSPLAY, their third studio album. But if Sorry did, indeed, die before a note had been recorded, before a single word had even been jotted down, who the hell are this bunch now masquerading as Sorry? Who has donned the Sorry outfits so convincingly? Who is it that has recorded COSPLAY, this album that first meticulously erases and then extravagantly redraws the perimeters of what a contemporary rock'n'roll band can achieve? Welcome to the world of COSPLAY, where anyone can be anyone, past or present, real or imaginary, dead or alive.

Dudu Tassa, one of Israel's leading rock stars, is the grandson of Kuwaiti musician, Daoud Al-Kuwaiti, whose musical collaborations with his brother Saleh, as the Al Kuwaiti Brothers became famous in the Arabic world between the 1930s and 1950s. Dudu Tassa and the Kuwaitis opened the Coachella festival a few years ago and were also chosen by Radiohead as support act on one of their US tours. The Al Kuwaiti brothers were among the greatest composers and musicians in Baghdad during the first half of the 20th century. Dudu Tassa has taken some of the Al Kuwaitis recordings and developed and modernised them into his own sound. This new version of the album includes two bonus tracks including a live version of 'Eshrab Kasak Withana' (feat. Jonny Greenwood/Radiohead/The Smile).
