"Their one-of-a- kind ensemble weaves tapestries of intimate, thought-provoking musical fare with unexpected lyrical depth and sensitivity alongside Hobson’s smooth, cozy croon."

Welcome and thanks for visiting the internet home of The Compact!

We are currently back in the studio and working on our third CD, due out summer 2012! Our most recent release, Fortune Cookie Philosophy (2011, Choking Chicken Records), has become a welcomed addition to Triple A and college radio. It spins on over a hundred stations in the US, along with syndicated radio and XM.  Uplifting, eclectic, and tight with stellar mixes, Fortune Cookie Philosophy combines aspects from different generations of music into a sound that's fresh and new. Be sure to check it out on itunes, Amazon and most other internet retailers, along with our 2009 release, Talk Radio!

We’ll be posting new content soon, so please come back often and check out our live videos, audio tracks, and links!
