Review by Stephen Quirke

The Rural Alberta Advantage's self-titled album is a captivating and dynamic collection of indie folk-rock songs that showcase the band's exceptional talent and unique sound. The album is a perfect blend of heartfelt lyrics, powerful vocals, and intricate instrumentation that transports listeners to the vast landscapes of rural Alberta.

Throughout the album, the band explores themes of love, loss, and the struggles of small-town life with a raw and authentic approach. Lead singer Nils Edenloff's haunting vocals are perfectly complemented by the soaring harmonies of keyboardist Amy Cole and drummer Paul Banwatt's driving percussion. The result is a sound that is both intimate and expansive, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing.

From the opening track "The Ballad of the RAA" to the closing notes of "In the Summertime," the album is a masterful display of the band's versatility and talent. Standout tracks like "Luciana," "Frank, AB," and "Edmonton" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy, anthemic tunes that are sure to get stuck in your head.
