The Company We Keep

I'm currently obsessed with this song called "Steadfast Strine" by The Company We Keep. The Company We Keep was started by Brian Southall, formerly of Boys Night Out and The Receiving End of Sirens.

The song "Steadfast Strine" is a cover of Seattle band Seaweed's original version. I don't know too much about Seaweed, however, I have heard their version of this song and The Company We Keep's cover is vastly different, mixing elements of the electronica and ambient genres, with Kenny from Moneen lending himself for the vocals. This version is definitely if not in the same vein, an artery close by, of Thrice's Alchemy Index Volume 2 (Water)...which rules!!!!

"Steadfast Shrine" can be found in the player to the left. Hope you enjoy!
