Alberta Cross

Sinking Ships

£12.99

Released: 31st March 2023. The seventh studio album from the acclaimed band is a gorgeous ten-track collection of modern indie-rock including an irresistible cover of Sharon Van Etten's 'Every Time the Sun Comes Up'. The album is at times expansive and subtly anthemic, beautifully mellow, folk-tinged and awash with a layered, maximalist sound that variously recalls The War On Drugs, Bon Iver and Phosphorescent. At all times, lead singer Petter Ericson Stakee's un-mistakable high-vocals, which have at times been compared to Jim James and Neil Young, soar through the music - particularly on album stand-outs 'Mercy' and 'Glow in The Dark'. The album was written mostly at the legendary The Wool Hall in Frome Somerset with Petter's long-term producer and collaborator, Luke Potashnick - who recently bought and renovated The Wool Hall (legendary in part due to Van Morrison and Tears for Fears recording albums there).
