The Rural Alberta Advantage will instantly make you think of Neutral Milk Hotel, but that is not necessarily a good or bad thing. Bands sound like other bands, it is just something that happens. I love Neutral Milk Hotel, so when The Rural Alberta Advantage are firing on all cylinders, they sound just about perfect.
Check out two examples from their soon to be released (March 1st on Saddle Creek) Departing below, “North Star” and “Stamp.” They provide the two sides of the band’s sound, and both are enjoyable enough to see new life as future mix-tape staples. Enjoy.
