After a long wait, Company's new CD Night Ground has arrived, courtesy of Peapod Recordings (peapodrecordings.com). It features songs from two sessions in the summer of 2008-(nearly) live performances in Portland, ME and living room jams in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Company is a songwriting collective and rock band rooted in folk, punk, country, and psychedelic traditions. Brought together by a shared commitment to writing songs that don’t “pussyfoot around”, to borrow Dylan’s phrase, Adam Davison, David Janik, Stephanie Rabins, and Christopher Teret formed Company in 2001. Self-released records and a string of shows with the likes of Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Bright Eyes, Arbouretum, The Double, Oakley Hall, and Oneida followed.Two releases on Brah Records, Parallel Time and Old Baby, have established Company as a band to hold on to in a throwaway world.Pat Sullivan (Oakley Hall)— “I once got so drunk with some old friends that I hopped into some mob guy’s convertible idling on the southside of Williamsburg, grabbed the steering wheel and revved the engine, although I have no recollection—I had to be told this. I had come from a Company show. One of many in their incredible stint at Pete’s Candy Store. Where were you? You missed the best band in New York writing new chapters in the Great American Songbook right before your eyes. Certainly without hyperbole their generation’s best additions to the pantheon. They get together occasionally and play a killer set with—somehow—new amazing material and then drop a record like Old Baby. I’d just quit bourbon too. I guess I’m going back. Where will you be? Don’t make the same mistake twice.”
