Consequence Of Sound is streaming The Rural Alberta Advantage’s highly anticipated third albumMended With Gold a week before street date. Mended With Gold was recorded at Toronto’s Candle Recording with the band’s long-time live engineer Matt Lederman (Hayden, !!!, Besnard Lakes) alongside co-producer Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, F*cked Up). The album is available for pre-order now on CD & LP in Saddle Creek Online Store and digitally via Itunes.
The Rural Alberta Advantage will also release an Indie Exclusive version of the album which will be released on clear vinyl with metallic gold splatter. The LP is limited to 1000 copies and is now SOLD OUT at the Saddle Creek online store. The LP is only available at local, independent record stores. To help fans locate the nearest store carrying the limited edition LP, the band has teamed up with The Vinyl District who have posted a list of stores carrying the album. Beginning on Tuesday, fans who have The Vinyl District app will a receive push notifications with local stores carrying the record. Anyone who buys the LP will receive limited edition RAA promo items including koozies, keychains, temporary tattoos, stickers and more with their purchase.
The Rural Alberta Advantage came together in 2006 when singer-songwriter Nils Edenloff, percussionist Paul Banwatt, and multi-instrumentalist Amy Cole released their debut self-titled EP. The ensuing years have brought two full-length albums (2008’s Hometowns and 2011’s Departing), widespread critical praise (SPIN, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR, among others), two Juno Award nominations (Best New Group, Video of the Year), the Polaris Music Prize Long List, and a hard earned reputation as one of the most impressive live bands you’ll ever see. It was through all of this that The RAA’s latest album, Mended With Gold, took shape.
The band will kick off the U.S. portion of their tour next month in Detroit. The tour will make stops in major cities such as Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York and more. All upcoming shows are listed below.
