Rusty Shipp has just released their third full length studio album and the second in the Cosmic Innuendo concept story line: Capsized Empire. The previous album contained the story of a sailor who drowned at sea but found light at the "Bottom of the Barrel" in a kingdom of sea angels. That album left off with the sea angels heading to the surface of the ocean. Capsized Empire picks up here where these angels discover an Upside Down Kingdom on The Other Side.

Despite appearances, Rusty Shipp is not merely a fantasy rock band. Instead, the nautical themes are a facade for the lyrical exploration of the philosophical problem of evil in the world. The story and lyrics are all written out in the album's CD liner!

The world's premier (and perhaps only?) nautical rock band brings their signature alt rock in the songs All Aboard, Espionage, Neck Breaker, Nefarious, Scallywags, and Sinners in the Hands. But they also display their typical diversity with the surf track Aquamoto, the sea shanty Spanish Ladies, a cover of Paul McCartney's 1882, and the surfy/jazzy On the Docks.

Overall, Capsized Empire sees the band running full speed ahead, having fully developed their unique voice.

This has been a favorite track of mine since I was a kid. Nickel Creek is the first concert I remember going to. My dad took me. They'll always have a special place in my heart because of that :)
