A Perfect Voice - by The Classic Crime

Just got their latest "Vagabonds" yesterday; & I am, of course, enjoying it.
TCC is based out of Seattle, WA.  The 5-piece band began in 2004, & released a demo EP, "We All Look Elsewhere" [ind.] in 2004.  Their signing to Tooth & Nail Records spawned their debut LP "Albatross" [2006]; then their "Acoustic EP: Seattle Sessions" [2007], which came about while touring in support of the LP.  "The Silver Cord" was released in 2008, also on T&N Records.  To which: the term 'silver cord' is the idea of a 'silver cord' that keeps the spirit attached to the body, & when one dies & the spirit leaves the body, the cord stretches & becomes thinner & thinner until it is severed; appropriately, a lot of this album deals with struggles, & some of life & death.  In the first week of the release of "The Silver Cord", exactly 5805 records were sold, which, as they noted, is the title of a song on the record, & is also the number of the house where they began their musical journey*.  Their latest release, "Vagabonds" [2010], was the last one on T&N Records, as they have now departed, & are working on another album to be released in 2012.  This song is from "Vagabonds".
