One of SOIWT!’s absolute favouritest bands, The Rural Alberta Advantage are happily coming to London. Hailing from deepest Canada, as their name might suggest, and signed to the cool Saddle Creek label, this is a trio offering a beautifully burnished indie sound, lined with a healthy dose of sorrow but also many hands-out-of-the-window, driving-with-the-top-down moments. Frank, AB is especially giddy – actually a very sad tale, yet told euphorically, fist-pumpingly and beautifully. It must be great to hear live.
We’ll be able to find on Tuesday 11 May as the RAA play the excellent Lexington on Pentonville Road (tickets). It’s a way off, but well worth putting in the diary.
