The Rural Alberta Advantage
Toronto-based trio The Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole, and Paul Banwatt) play indie-rock songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up ...read more on Last.fm →

Slow Pulp - At Home
Slow Pulp - At Home
Sounds like: Pinback, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Wolf Alice
By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 16, 2018 | I've been sitting on this one for more than a month now, and am happy to finally be able to get around to sharing it. Slow Pulp's "At Home" doesn't break any new ground with its sound -- it just happens to pull off a fairly-well-established sound wi... read more →

sjowgren - Beginners
sjowgren - Beginners
Sounds like: The Rural Alberta Advantage, Wolf Alice, Diamond Thug
By Gabe Kahan on Mar 11, 2018 | The west coast group Sjowgren has put out another mysteriously sexy single. "Beginners" makes a home for itself with thudding guitar and vocal harmonies that gallup in the distance. Synths sputter and float under the lead singer's humming. The track... read more →

Harpool - Lost
Harpool - Lost
Sounds like: Cayucas, The Dodos, The Rural Alberta Advantage
Tags: Editor's Pick, indie rock, surf rock, the dodos
By Jason Grishkoff on Jan 16, 2018 | I absolutely love the tempo of this song. It evokes a wonderfully upbeat summer vibe -- perfect for the nearly 30C temperature we've got in Cape Town right now. Hear The Taste is from Boise, Idaho. Back in July I spent a few nights there and it, lik... read more →

sjowgren - Waiting Room
sjowgren - Waiting Room
Sounds like: The Rural Alberta Advantage, Camel Power Club, Pomegranates
Tags: Editor's Pick, indie rock, wolf alice, nvdes
By Jason Grishkoff on Nov 9, 2017 | Way back in August of 2015 a band called sjowgren (try pronounce that, right?) released a song called "Seventeen" that I really, really liked. Flash forward more than two years and they've managed to whip another one out of the hat that struck a cho... read more →

Holy Now - Dead End
Holy Now - Dead End
Sounds like: The Strokes, The Rural Alberta Advantage
Tags: Editor's Pick, female vocalist, indie rock, lo-fi
By Jason Grishkoff on Feb 25, 2017 | I'm pretty sure I fell for this track of its melody alone. The style and instrumental approach isn't necessarily unique, but.. yeah.. it all just comes together with such a raw and sort of Strokes-y vibe that I can't help but enjoy it every time I li... read more →

Le Trouble - Vampires
Le Trouble - Vampires
Sounds like: The Rural Alberta Advantage, Franz Ferdinand, Everything Everything, Karkwa
Tags: Editor's Pick, indie rock, the strokes, the plastics
By Jason Grishkoff on Jan 5, 2017 | It didn't take long for Montreal-based Le Trouble to win me over with their brand of in-your-face indie rock. It captures a raw and simultaneously intricate approach to a super-saturated genre, and in doing so manages to stand above the rest as a son... read more →

Redspencer - Happy Slow Riverbends
Redspencer - Happy Slow Riverbends
Sounds like: Darwin Deez, Real Estate, The Rural Alberta Advantage
By Jason Grishkoff on May 10, 2015 | Redspencer might not have a Twitter account as of my writing this, but they've certainly left their imprint in Australia. Having played support to the likes of Holy Holy and The Preatures, it only makes sense that the trio make their Indie Shuffle de... read more →

The Gromble - Desole Pt. II
The Gromble - Desole Pt. II
Sounds like: Made In Japan, New Navy, The Rural Alberta Advantage
By Jason Grishkoff on Sep 23, 2014 | I'd usually pass on a track like this, but The Gromble have managed to do something pretty entertaining here. How so, you ask? Well, I think it has a lot to do with the general melody: it's anything but generic. The track takes twists and turns that... read more →
