UPC: 810540038360 Bearings' new album Comfort Company is a return to something familiar -- not just sonically, but spiritually. After years of constant touring and 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 began. Written in cottages and basements, and recorded at the same East End Toronto studio as 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'd connect with and spill out on stage." Featuring guest vocals from Derek DiScanio (State Champs) and Ben Barlow (Neck Deep), Comfort Company channels Bearings' earliest instincts through years of experience. The result is a record built on friendship, self-reflection, and a deep understanding of who they are -- songs that feel grounded, immediate, and made to be played loud.
