Bio
New album "Departing" to be released on Saddle Creek Records in the US/worldwide and Paper Bag Records in Canada on March 1, 2011. The Rural Alberta Advantage play indie-rock folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up in Central and Northern Alberta. They sing about summers in the Rockies and winters on the farm, ice breakups in the spring time and the oil boom’s charm, the mine workers on compressed, the equally depressed, the city’s slow growth and the country’s wild rose, but mostly the songs just try to embrace the advantage of growing up in Alberta. -

10 of 20MoreI cannot WAIT until the day you come to Fernie to play a show. It will be the best day of the year. You guys blow my mind.
I can't wait to see you guys in Montreal! I've been listening to the album non-stop, and you're playing my favourite venue! So excited :) x
Write-up in Eye Magazine "Much hyped Toronto-based trio are slowly mapping out the follow up to their breakout full-length "Hometowns," but they won't rush it. We imagine it takes time for singer Nils Edenloff to squeeze so much joy out of drowsy Prairie nostalgia"
Just a reminder to HELP SUPPORT INDEPENDENT CANADIAN MUSIC by listening to THE RAA on THIS GREAT WHITE NORTH. It's an ALL CANADIAN music show FRIDAYS 4:30-6pm CST on 91.7 KOOP FM in Austin, Texas. You can listen online at www.KOOP.org.
