Alberta Cross Announces New Album “Songs of Patience” and Tour Dates

By The Audio Perv , Tags :


Alberta Cross will release their highly anticipated sophomore album, Songs of Patience, on ATO Records on July 17th, 2012. Additionally, the band will hit the road for the first live dates in support of Songs for Patience, kicking off in New York City on June 24th as part of this year’s Governor’s Ball Music Festival on Randall’s Island. Alberta Cross will also be touring with Everest starting on July 5th in Chicago for a run of summer dates. Tickets for these shows go on sale Friday, May 18th. All tour dates are listed below.

The title of Alberta Cross’ new album, Songs of Patience, is, in many ways, literal. After touring extensively behind their debut 2009, Broken Side Of Time, with bands like Them Crooked Vultures, Oasis, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and stopping at festivals like Bonnaroo and Sasquatch, Alberta Cross headed to an old, abandoned house in the middle of nowhere near Woodstock, NY. There, they braved the freezing winter and embraced a sense of the building’s haunted past to envision ideas for a new record.

The Woodstock session opened the doors to craft the songs that would appear on Songs of Patience (ATO Records), but the group needed more inspiration. For core band members Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals/guitar) and Terry Wolfers (bass), the album they knew they could make was seemingly just out of their grasp. Ericson Stakee moved from New York City to Los Angeles in search of a new perspective, but when the rest of the band joined him in early 2011, the songs they knew would propel them forward remained elusive. Alberta Cross had a finished album that just didn’t feel right; so, they did what many great artists have done to move forward – they went backwards.

This, of course, meant that Ericson Stakee and Wolfers had to find their way back to what inspired Alberta Cross in the first place, which resulted in pairing down the Alberta Cross lineup to its original incarnation as a two-piece, in addition to stepping away from what they had created in order to look it in the face. This allowed them to admit that it needed revision, a step that ultimately allowed them to open up their creativity, pen additional tracks and re-mix/re-track a few songs from the L.A. sessions once they’d returned to New York. There, they laid down new songs, rounding out the original album to be an expansive, thoughtful portrait of their experiences. The result is one of the finest, most visceral rock albums of 2012.

Ultimately, Songs of Patience is both a throwback to Alberta Cross’ roots and a progression forward. It’s a record that is as soulful as it is driven. The album veers from the melodic sprawl of opener “Magnolia” to the pensive provocation of “Lay Down,” a song bolstered by crashing guitars and one of the record’s most thrilling choruses. “Wasteland” is a hook-laden, no-holds-barred rocker showcasing Ericson Stakee’s voice at its best, while “Crate of Gold” explores the motivations of the Occupy movement in all of its fuzzed-out, bass-driven glory. Indeed, Songs of Patience is the sum of three years’ worth of parts – a struggle that concluded in one hell of an album, and a brilliant new chapter in the musical journey of Alberta Cross.

Songs of Patience track listing:
1. Magnolia
2. Create Of Gold
3. Lay Down
4. Come on Maker
5. Ophelia On My Mind
6. Wasteland
7. I Believe In Everything

Portugal. The Man, GIVERS, Alberta Cross CMJ 10/20 Terminal 5 Review/Photos

By drainu182 , Tags : , , , ,

By Michel R Dussack

On Thursday October 20th, Alberta Cross, GIVERS, and Portugal. The Man played arguably the biggest show of the 2011 edition of the CMJ Marathon at Terminal 5. Alberta Cross, a band with origins both in Europe and New York took the stage first and played a solid 30 minute set, winning over many new fans and surely pleasing the fan who yelled out to them that he came to the show just to see them. It wasn’t hard to see why they garner enough dedication to have people come to the massive Terminal 5 to catch a short opening set. The band plays their music with an insane amount of energy, with vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee frequently coming to the edge of the stage to get right in the faces of the fans. At one point towards the end of their set, he took this one step further, hopping off the stage and into the photographer’s pit to get even closer to the crowd. While often classified as “folk rock”, Alberta Cross is so much more than that, nearing alternative on some of the heavier tracks, and country on some of the softer tracks.

GIVERS took the stage next and the indie pop group from Louisiana proved that they could easily handle playing on a large stage, something I had doubts about after catching them at the much more intimate Ace Hotel that afternoon. Vocalists Taylor Guarisco and Tiffany Lamson frequently trade lines and harmonize together, giving the band something that easily distinguishes them from the countless other indie pop bands out there right now. Tiffany Lamson can be seen as the bands secret weapon as she provides vocals, additional percussion, xylophone, and ukulele during the bands live set. Throughout their 35 minute set, the crowd was dancing, and many in the crowd seemed already familiar with the band’s material, most notably single “Up Up Up”.

By the time Portugal. The Man took the stage, the crowd was sufficiently warmed up, though whether or not they were fully ready for the nearly 2 hour, 24 song marathon set is debatable. Kicking things off with the massive hit “So American”, it’s clear there’s something about this band that can’t be captured on their records. Perhaps it’s their high energy performances, their outstanding lighting and stage designs, or even their dedicated fans. The crowd was something completely unexpected for many who’ve never seen the band before – moshpits broke out, and crowdsurfers came sailing over the railing frequently. Opening with one of your biggest hits from your newest album usually means a band is going to focus on new material solely, and while most of “In The Mountain In The Cloud” was played throughout the night, it would be a while before the band would even think of playing another track from it.

A roaring cover of The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” came early on, something unexpected, at least from this reviewer. This was no straight cover though – the band made it their own, making it sufficiently heavier, and dare I say it, headbanging material. Old favorite “AKA M80 The Wolf” followed and the crowd really started to go insane. A blend of older hits and newer numbers would follow, each track seemingly morphing right into the next one. Popular cover “All The Young Dudes” would come a couple songs later, prompting a massive sing-along. When the band launched into “Elephants” next, it was clear that it wasn’t just covers that the crowd knew nearly every word to. Portugal. The Man then started alternating old song and new song, each one prompting a larger cheer from the crowd. By the time the last song “Sleep Forever” came, it was hard to imagine that the band could last much longer.

After a brief encore break, they returned however, for a 5 song encore that pushed what was already an outstanding performance over the top, into one that many will not soon forget. Most notable was a brilliant cover of Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back In Anger”, something that many bands would never even think about attempting. They would then go on to play “Guns and Dogs”, and close the show with “Chicago”, off their debut album “Waiter: You Vultures”, a real treat for the long time fans at the show. If it seems to you that Portugal. The Man crept up out of nowhere to be playing to a near sold out crowd at Terminal 5, you’d be right. Just last year they were playing at the much more intimate Highline Ballroom. However, it’s clear that they belong in bigger venues, and that the reason behind their success (not to mention loyal fanbase) is their amazing live shows.

The limited edition EP, of which only 2000 copies were printed, will be available exclusively at the band’s concerts and indie retail stores, satiating fans until the release of an entirely new full-length album in early 2012.

STREAM THE ROLLING THUNDER EP

Alberta Cross recently performed at Virgin Mobile Free Fest in Maryland and the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, and will support their new EP this fall on an extensive national tour with psych-folk buzz act Portugal.

Their breakthrough release earned praise from major outlets such as Rolling Stone who called the band “A breaking artist”, Esquire Magazine who called the record “as electrically dark as it is electrifyingly determined”, and Billboard who called Broken Side of Time “a step forward in cementing the band’s place in American blues-rock”.

Top 5 Last Call with Carson Daly Moments In 2010 From Music Producer Davis Powers

By drainu182 , Tags : , , , , , ,

Our favorite late night music show is Last Call with Carson Daly. Every episode has a cool spotlight feature on a little known artist (musical or not) that’s about to explode and a great live performance. This is all possible because of the addition of music producer Davis Powers who’s in charge of all the music that you see on the show. We recently spoke with Davis all about the show (our interview will be available later this week) and asked him about his top 5 moments of 2010 from Last Call. Check them out below (with video proof!)

1. Fitz and The Tantrums performing “Money Grabber”: We captured the band at their big homecoming show at The El Rey Theatre. The crowd was so electric and Fitz had them at his fingertips–just check out the video..



2. Albert Cross @ The Troubadour: The UK band made their television debut with us and quickly proved they were one of the best new live rock bands out there.

3. A Perfect Circle performing “The Noose”: We worked closely with Maynard to collaborate on the look and feel of this shoot. Everything totally translated and Maynard even sat down with Carson for a rare interview.

4. Built to Spill making their second ever TV appearance with us: I have been a life long fan and jumped at the opportunity to pitch them appearing on the show. Doug and the gang couldnt have been nicer and they played a very memorable set that night that we were lucky enough to capture.

5. Carson interviewing Tift Merritt: This was one of the first interviews Carson did when I became the music booker. He didnt even blink when I pitched her and he was so passionate about highlighting her talents and giving her some much deserved airtime, I knew I had landed at the right show..

In conjunction with the release of their sophomore album Sugar (available on iTunes), out this week via TAO/Old Flame, Dead Confederate band is premiering the video for the track, “Run From The Gun” (mp3) on The Huffington Post. Guitarist, vocalist and co-songwriter Hardy Morris spoke with the Huffington Post about the video, which, due to the track’s political undertones, is comprised of vintage footage from conflicts spanning the past century, as well as clips from D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation. Scott Carney from the band Wax Fang compiled all of the footage and edited the video.
