Country Code came to life in 2012, drawing on the members’ shared commitment to create an honest sound with few flourishes or filler that even allows for an errant note here or there if need be. Following April Recordings from 2013 and 1751 released in 2014, The Bunker Stories is an all-acoustic collection of original, previously unreleased material, each song manifestly a product of the times in its musing on the dissonance of our world and untold tribulations of just being here, now. This debut set opens with ‘Shipwreck’, a spirited ode to the ever-beckoning siren song of desire; ‘Raven’ follows as a lively interlude about the malice among boastful rivals; ‘Stranger Again’ is a mournful ballad on the hollowed routines of a backstairs liaison; ‘Morning Rain’ is another brooding refrain on the abandon of infidelity; ‘Promised Land’ is a somber serenade to those fleeing a devastated Aleppo in search of refuge somewhere beyond the borders of their homeland; ‘You Keep My Love A Waitin’ is pure country dirge, a barbed rebuff to unrequited love; ‘Days’, written on the very day of Donald Trump’s election, is a moody hymn to the pretenses of the post-factual era; ‘Why Even Love Me At All’ concludes the set, a bitter love song questioning the resolve of a worn relationship. With these stories told, Country Code will soon go underground once more,burning the midnight oil until that key, tempo, and style fits that mood, that vocal, and that lyric. And even though all is calm in the Bunker Studio for the moment, there will surely be plenty more fallout where this sound came from.
