Ordinary Riches by Company of Thieves
Ordinary Riches is an album by Company of Thieves, released in 2007. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Oscar Wilde”, on 6 lists with a best position of #2.
Ordinary Riches, the first album from Chicago's Company of Thieves, went out independently in 2007 before Wind-up Records gave it a wider release on February 24, 2009. The band was built around its founders, singer Genevieve Schatz and guitarist Marc Walloch, and the record plays to that partnership: bright, hooky indie rock with Schatz's big, bold voice out front and Walloch's guitar lines circling around her.
"Oscar Wilde" was the calling card, a single that picked up real support on American alternative radio even though it never made Billboard's alternative chart. The album cracked the top five of the Heatseekers chart, and Running from a Gamble followed in 2011.
