“It’s a weird game going on between the band and the place where they play. A mesmerizing Eiffel Tower or Trocadero usually steal the show with their size and more or less spectacular tricks, but here’s a band no one would expect to find there, competing with all those crowd-pullers. ”

TROCADERO, EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS

These exciting – if uncertain – times are reflected in the eclectic sound of Company of  Thieves’ Ordinary Riches album that moves effortlessly from the seemingly jaunty, piano-led “In Passing” and the catchy pop tones of “Pressure” and their hit single “Oscar Wilde”. The bunch is erudite without being pretentious, hooky without being saccharine, and plainly dedicated to their eclectic ideals. Company of Thieves’ stunning debut album Ordinary Riches reveals a band very much of its time.
