about

"Reading The Outlaw Ocean brought about so many emotions for me — from sorrow to new hope, from sadness to kindness, from powerlessness to anger, from the beauty of the ocean to its deep dark secrets. It was all quite overwhelming and incredibly inspiring. While reading, there were moments when I had to pause and work on more ideas I had for the songs I was creating. With these songs, I hope to translate all those stories, emotions, and thoughts into music so that more people can connect with the book the same way I did. I am so grateful to be a part of this special and unique project."

-Shook

All of the music is based on The Outlaw Ocean, a New York Times Best-Selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. This reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships and other topics. While reporting for more than 5 years at sea, Urbina built an audio library of field recordings. It featured a diversity of textured and rhythmic sounds like machine-gun fire off the coast of Somalia and chanting captive deckhands on the South China Sea.
