On their first full-length, The Rural Alberta Advantage stay up all night reinhabiting a tangle of lost loves and childhood homes. Songs toss and turn amidst impatient drums as they wrestle with memory. When the whole thing unravels in the morning, the hooks remain, rattling around like a half-remembered dream.

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…
