Death of Communication…Listen on Spotify

New Letters…Listen on Spotify
I found Company of Thieves a while after their two albums were released. It was a recommendation based on a recommendation, based on a recommendation…type of scenario that let me to their music. It’s soft, loud, and well written. From my perspective, anyway…These are relatively recent albums, so I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that you’ve heard them before. Especially the first song up there, Death of Communication.
Death of Communication…drums fade in for a soft start, progressing gradually to louder and stronger tones. It’s the hardest of the three songs. This is the first Company of Thieves song I had ever heard, and I instantly connected to it. Now, it reminds me of person I came to understand too slowly…Ah, the memories of the turmoil they helped me create. I’m glad it’s behind me, but I’m equally glad I can listen to Death of Communication anytime thanks to our modern conveniences.
Modern Waste is probably about…being taken advantage of…probably. If that’s not of interest to you, that’s okay because the song is full of interesting timing changes…I think…and raging guitar. Cool! Look at the part that you like!
The more delicate and certainly less rageful song of the three, New Letters is sweet and touching. The intro…so gentle and direct, with lovely guitar sounds…if that’s what you call them. Gradually the song picks up in strength and changes tone after the…bridge…and swells into a layered…wall of pleasing and hopeful sounds. Timing and texture changes all over it. Me words do good? Anyway, I love the whole track. Listen and you might also. Wouldn’t that be awesome?!
