Rising Water // James Vincent McMorrow cover

Pickwick - Blackout

DDPesh - Nasty Feel (B.I.G. vs. MGMT vs. Justice)

How? Why?

- This song came about as a spontaneous idea and was recorded in a single day in only a few takes in order to capture this energy.
- It was played at a steady pace to create space for colours and improvisation to complement the brilliant songwriting of Sting. 

Features: Nick Hurworth on Alto Saxophone
                  Lawrence Jaeger on Percussion
                  Matt Hurworth on Trumpet
                  Yanick Bathfield on Vocals and Guitar
                  Josh Riley on Vocals

And finally the song was Recorded and Produced by the outstanding Callum McDonald at HeyPapaLegend Studios. Grassy Spark is very grateful to have worked with such a talented producer.

We take no rights to this song.

Gomez - Airstream Driver

Since forming in 2005, the Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole and Paul Banwatt) has earned fans and critical acclaim with their unique style of percussive indie-folk songs woven from tales of singer/songwriter Edenloff’s Alberta heritage. Edenloff’s exodus from the province inspired the band’s name and many of the songs from their enthralling debut album, Hometowns, originally self-released in 2008. Buzz grew quickly as indie music fans discovered the record and championed the band online as digital music retailer eMusic.com featured the record in their Selects program spotlighting unsigned artists. Hometowns became the highest-selling Selects act in history and a critical darling nearly overnight, appearing on dozens of “Best of 2008” lists in newspapers, blogs, and radio podcasts across North America and Europe. 

The inspiring DIY success story of the Rural Alberta Advantage has continued to gain momentum and attract fans and followers of their exciting live performances and gritty, honest songs. A breakthrough performance at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas won the ultimate seal of approval from Pitchfork (“This band could be huge”) and a nod as a “buzz band” from the Associated Press. More glowing press reviews and sold-out club dates in major cities throughout the United States have followed and Hometowns will be released properly for the first time on Saddle Creek in July 2009.

The Rural Alberta Advantage's percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, and relentless tradition of touring have taken the trio from humble recognition amongst indie rock die-hards as "Canada's best unsigned band" to sold-out tours and devoted fans around the world with featured coverage from Spin Magazine, Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone all taking note. The band has been nominated for two 2012 Juno Awards (Best New Group and Video of the Year for their song “Stamp”), long listed for the 2011 Polaris Award, and awarded the CBC Music Prize for Best Independent Artist in 2014.

The RAA has released three albums on Saddle Creek/Paper Bag Records: Hometowns (2009), Departing (2011) and Mended With Gold (2014). The trio of Nils Edenloff, Paul Banwatt and Robin Hatch will be hitting the road for set of road testing shows to preview the new material they’ve been working on and carve out these new songs in front of their fans in a live setting before returning home to record in between each run. The tour will swing through some of the band’s favourite venues across North America and Europe throughout 2016/2017.

Some words on The Rural Alberta Advantage:

““Regardless of your tastes, if you care about drums at all, Mended With Gold is a must-listen.” –Pitchfork

“The Rural Alberta Advantage are best seen live, where their acoustic crescendos and Nils Edenloff's Jeff Mangum-esque vocal acrobatics impress most.”  -Under The Radar

“There's something that just makes you want to root for them -- as Edenloff introduced "Tornado '87", a song about a twister that ran through Edmonton, one of the many Canadian bros in attendance shouted: "I LOVE TORNADOS!" That's making a connection.” – Coachella Festival coverage, Pitchfork

“The intensity of like “Stamp” and “Don’t Haunt This Place” lean on Banwatt’s marathon-runner stamina and fills, and it’s safe to say the band’s great melodies wouldn’t sound the same without him.” – “The 10 Best New Rhythm Sections”, Paste Magazine

“The crowd sang along to all the ‘oohs’ and danced to songs like The Deadroads and Frank, AB, even demanding an encore that would never materialize in a festival like this. Will this show rate among the weekend’s best? Too early to say, but it’s a strong contender.” – Montreal Gazette at Osheaga Festival
