Dark Company: first public A for Acronym releases

The first public A for Acronym releases will start appearing at SoundCloud in due course. We have discussed the release situation with Dark Company on a number of occasions and finally, in the early part of the summer, we agreed that it was time to start letting these songs out.

A for Acronym is a triple-CD length album of songs by Dark Company, organised into three separate collections. The first public A for Acronym releases will come from the first collection, which are ‘rock’ themed and bear the title SNAFU.

The second collection will have a loosely ‘reggae’ theme, and this will be called VSF. The third collection will be the songs that don’t quite fit in either the rock or reggae categories and shall be titled FUBAR.

The first public A for Acronym release, Suns Set, is actually the last song on the first collection. It is therefore, broadly speaking, a rock song. It is still only an alpha mix and needs a lot more work doing to it before it can be considered a finished product for general release.

However, we tend to feel that it is worth starting to allow these songs out into the public domain as there has been considerable progress recently in our studios. The end is in sight at last for some of our projects.

Very observant Dark Company fans may have already noticed that the lyrics and fun facts for Dark Company’s A for Acronym album are already published at the Explicit Music website. For further teasers, we recommend you visit those pages. Click here to open a new tab.

Wud Records have kept all of these new Dark Company songs largely under wraps. This is due to the large amount of work-in-progress Dark Company material already out in the public domain. This includes Dark Company’s pages here at the Wud Records webiste as well as on sites such as SoundCloud and HearThis.

New web pages will be appearing soon at the Wud Records website for the A for Acronym album. Please be sure to follow our News service and Wud Records social media channels for further announcements.

As these are still early days for the album, changes are likely to occur. Some of the songs may not make the final cut. New ones may appear. The final running order, and which songs end up on which albums, is likely to be modified over time.

Like all of Dark Company’s albums, the order in which the songs are arranged seem to form a narrative. Exactly what those narritives are can be difficult to define, but there is certainly one there. Dark Company as a band are exponents extraordinaire of the semi-concept album.
