Summer Sessions: Company Of Thieves Celebrate Their New Album At Last.fm Discover

Summer Sessions continue with the Chicago, IL band Company Of Thieves. In our studio they played four-songs from their sophomore album Running From A Gamble and chatted with us. Their debut album Ordinary Riches released in February of ’09, was fueled by the  feel-good, four-on-the-floor single “Oscar Wilde.” Click thru to check out their unplugged session.

Running From A Gamble captures the live energy of a Company Of Thieves show, and part of that can be attributed to the band’s spiritual guide and producer Rob Schnapf.

“Tallulah”

“Look Both Ways”
