Bearings - Comfort Company [LP] (Citrine Deluxe Marble Vinyl)

Bearings' new album Comfort Company is a return to something familiar - not just sonically, but spiritually. After years of constant touring and musical growth through albums like Blue in the Dark and The Best Part About Being Human, the Ottawa-based band found themselves drawn back to where it all started. Written in cottages and basements, and recorded at the same East End Toronto studio where they made their debut, the album captures the feeling of coming home. "This album was working on music all day, walking to the beer store, then heading back to the windowless studio to relax before reading Kurt Vonnegut and eventually falling asleep on an air mattress," the band recalls. "We wanted to make music that felt natural to us, something we knew we'd connect with and be able to spill out on stage." Featuring guest vocals from Derek DiScanio of State Champs and Ben Barlow of Neck Deep, Comfort Company channels the band's earliest instincts through the lens of years of experience. The result is a set of songs that feel grounded, immediate, and made to be played loud - a record built on friendship, self-reflection, and a deep understanding of who they are and where they come from.
