Released: July 7th, 2009With every other genre blending together in this melting-pot age of music we're living in, it only makes sense that one might eventually hear synth and drum-machines mixed with evocative folk rock like that of The Rural Alberta Advantage on their debut Hometowns. In some cases, this could be detrimental to this kind of music, but that's not the case here. Nils Edenloff's songs are simply too honest, and way too catchy! His nasally, country howl, carried by Paul Banwatt's drumming and complemented by the shy Amy Cole, covers an entire spectrum of emotion. You are made to feel the regret of "Don't Haunt This Place" and the nostalgic longing of "Edmonton". This band has a bright future ahead of them, especially if they can keep up putting out songs like album closer "In The Summertime", which might be the most honest account of true love committed to song this decade.
