the one that got away
before 2012 gets too far behind us i have to point out a band that released a great album that largely went unnoticed. the band is called simply-"company" and the release is-"dear america". beautiful melodic songs that bring to mind- band of horses and the shins. if that is up your alley be sure to give this a listen. i meant to have it on my best of 2012 list and of course forgot. i believe cd baby has it and probably itunes as well.
