Description

Alberta Cross return with Songs Of Patience. Now available on vinyl with a digital download code.

Follow up to 2010s The Broken Side Of Time.

Songs Of Patience is both a throwback to Alberta Cross roots and a progression forward. The album veers from the melodic sprawl of opener Magnolia, a track singer / songwriter / guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee wrote in LA about too many late nights, for better or worse, to the pensive provocation of Lay Down, which was penned in the back of a van in Tampa when he felt beat down by the road after a two-year straight stint on tour. Petters self-defeat and subsequent self-discovery are apparent on hook-laden rocker Wasteland, a track about our generation being lost and sometimes in need of guidance, while the fuzzed out layers on Crate Of Gold reveal his growth as a songwriter.

The focus throughout the albums songwriting was strong, engaging melodies, as well as Ericson Stakees poetic narrative sensibility, both of which allow the listener to inhabit a new place for the span of the
album.

Produced by Joe Chicarrelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes).
