    FINALLY Rusty Shipp has a vinyl record -- and AUTOGRAPHED! Listen to "Dark Side of the Ocean" as it was intended to be heard -- on a 2-sided vinyl.

    It's our most ambitious album, written and recorded in two halves specifically for vinyl, with 21:30 minutes on each side. "Side One: Descent" (the sinking soul of a sailor encountering the mysteries of the ocean as he descends to the bottom of the ocean), and "Side Two: Ascent" (the Sea Angels ascend to the surface to see where all these sinking souls are coming from).

    Includes unlimited streaming of Dark Side of the Ocean via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

LYRICS
You got, more day than night, more light than dark, you got
More sun than moon, but more space than stars, you gotta
See each piece must play its part, it’s parta
Harmony and part of our heart, you gotta
See each major has a minor counterpart
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater
Every father has a mother who has a father
Holds the whole universe together, you gotta

Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered

You got tanninim and cherubim gonna whet ya
appetite for jaws that bite and claws that catcha
Kraken and Leviathan are sunken treasure
Howls at night and Bloop sound bites will let ya

Know there’s things we’ve never seen and never get to
Undisturbed for thousands of years the creatures
Didn’t need Adam’s name to give Him pleasure
Always do, what they were made to, you betta

Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered

Let the darkness come, so the day can rest in peace
Nocturnal things come dance to minor harmonies
O Tanninim arise, from where you once did slumber
Give glory to the LORD, where man has left uncovered

Rusty Shipp image

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee

Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.
