Find Light

Steadily building their artistic style and audience over the past five years, New Jersey-based alternative folk band Cold Weather Company produces a diverse sound, rich with harmonies and instrumental builds. The band combines the various writing approaches and influences of it's three members, Brian Curry, Jeff Petescia, and Steve Shimchick, to create unique arrangements with intricate layering. For their third full-length album Find Light, they've roped in a number of friends and contemporaries on percussion, bass, cello, violin, trumpet, flute, sax and clarinet, creating a soundtrack that moves far beyond the lean sounds of 2015's Somewhere New and 2016's A Folded Letter. "We're really proud of the first two albums, which we recorded ourselves, but we didn't want to miss the opportunity to fill these new songs out with additional instrumentation," says Petescia, one of the group's two guitarists. "We wanted to give each song the sound it deserved."
