Sorry Eric - It's Okay

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 Erics debut album, Its 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 Cincinnati, Evil, Vile Main Street Yuppies and Its Okay. Dietrich internalizes these external struggles on declarative spoken-word songs like Earthly Insults and Bicycle Experiments where characters tackle existential questions following funerals or during suburban bicycle rides. Sorry Erics pop sensibilities can be best understood in their lineage to New Zealands Flying Nun Records from the undeniable melodic sensibility and slightly skewed perspective on each songs composition to Robert Scotts (The Bats) painting on the LP cover, the spiritual connection runs deep.
