Company is a band of three who wish to place the emphasis of their music on Christ. The liner notes do not list their first names, do not show their pictures, and do not feature lyrics. The only album art is a close up of a rose bush on the front cover.
Given their anonymity, you might be tempted to think the music here is something else that does not deserve your attention. This would be an error on your part. Company is a modern worship album that exhibits some wonderful guitar work, with vocals that range somewhere between Mac Powell, Cush, or a more coherent Eddie Vedder.
The album contains both modern music ("I Fall Apart") and traditional tunes ("My Jesus I Love Thee"). "Beautiful Thing" is backed by some Eric Clapton style guitar. "Faithful" is a contemplative instrumental.
Company is worth repeated plays -- do not let the lack of recognizable names fool you.
