It’s hard to accurately describe to the uninitiated what exactly Dirty Three sound like. Or how they affect you. They are similar to a movie, with its emotional dynamics intrinsic in its self-defined walls. But Dirty Three are barely defined, becoming something that Warren, Mick, and Jim could not conceive of without the other two. They are an
emotional roller coaster ride, with all the good parts and the bad parts rolled into the climb and the fall simultaneously, making the listener pine for the best of times and romanticize the worst of times.
Recorded by Steve Albini at Chicago’s Electrical Audio and released in 1998, Ocean Songs is Dirty Three’s fourth album. It sees them straying a bit from the manic dynamics on 1996’s Horse Stories, where the songs were at first coaxed into existence, only to be bashed apart in a raucous ending. Ocean Songs plies the listener with tales of longing
and weariness, although hope is just around the corner.
The tracks on Ocean Songs are wordless waltzes, crawling ballads, and haunted reels. Fiddler Warren Ellis can make his violin weep two different ways: a little or a lot. Mick Turner’s guitar sparkles and fades.
Drummer Jim White always dawdles behind, only occasionally delivering a snare drum smack like a period at the end of an overlong sentence.
- Rolling Stone (1998)
Dirty Three are in no hurry to enlighten or entertain. The magic of
Ocean Songs is in the undertow, the way the music pulls you into its
deep, blue moods, lifts you out and leaves you cleansed.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
