It has been six years since Chicago band Company of Thieves dropped music, with their second LP ‘Running From A Gamble’ released back in 2011. Having taken a break to delve into other ventures, the group have reunited once again, bringing forth their latest song ‘Treasure’. The revving alternative track highlights the trio’s magnetic chemistry, appearing as if they’ve never left. Whilst no word on an LP has yet to be stated, we’re keeping our fingers crossed.
Touching on ‘Treasure’, singer Genevieve Schatz mention:
“When we went to record vocals, our set-up was in Marc’s garage in LA and we were getting so much interference from radio frequencies but we didn’t let that stop us — it was like our Chicago DIY roots all over again. As we turned on the microphone, a man’s voice came on from a political radio station — he was talking about US citizens’ constitutional right to assemble, and how people were coming together to march and protest like they did back in the 60’s. He kept angrily asking, ‘Why are they doing this?’ We found his question to be a great mirror of the cultural divide and why our song was written in the first place, so instead of letting his voice silence us we decided to hit ‘record’ anyway.”
