Track listing
Press
- "...A British take on Southern rock⦠the seismic guitars and high vocals look to My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon and Crazy Horse⦠but Alberta Cross sets aside those American bands' redemptive undercurrents of blues and gospel; instead it plunges into the very English despair of bands like Pink Floyd." â The New York Times
- "â¦Familiar and refreshing... Alberta Cross has taken incredible strides to earn global recognition." â NPR
- "Combining wind tunnels of bent guitar riffs and distorted power chords with the haunting melodies of rural American music. It's all topped by Ericson Stakee's sweet, high-lonesome voice, which recalls both Jim James and Neil Young." â Rolling Stone
- "â¦Fog-clearing pipes nod to MMJ's Jim James, and whose South-of-the-Mason-Dixon guitar chops recall the Followill Bros." â Spin
- "â¦An intoxicating mix of apocalyptic riffs, sob â worthy singalongs and brooding blues." (8 out of 10) â NME
- "â¦As electrically dark as it is electrifyingly determined⦠these ten songs have a kind of will of their own to reach our eardrums and come out the other side as goose bumps." â Esquire
- "â¦A hard-hitting, rock-driven affair, with folk and soul undertones." â BlackBook
- "There is an expansive, widescreen nature to Alberta Cross' music that that conjures equal parts intimacy and elevation." - Kerrang!
