Can't wait to see these guys at The Republik in April. I haven't seen them since they played at a small church for Sled Island and right there I fell in love wit their sound. Not sure if I want to listen to the album before its released though.

First listen didn't immediately impact me the way Hometowns did, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

Stamp is a great song. Enjoy the show!

So when they come to Salt Lake, I'm going to go see them (show is 21+) and than I will go to a Starfucker show right after. (It will be a long night, but absolutely amazing!)

First exposure to the Rural Alberta Advantage: 'In the Summertime'. Was really feelin' it for a full 90 seconds unti he went into his upper register and started sounding way too much like Billy 'Teagarden' Corgan.

Second impression: 'Don't Haunt This Place'. I see what you guys mean about this drummer. I like the female vocalist very much, really balances out the other guy in a Hutch and Kathy kinda way. Cellos are always welcome.
edit: I love this song.

'The Ballad of the RAA' - I love it when a band writes a song that references the name of the band in the title. This guy makes up for his voice being terrible with sheer confidence.

Got my download code this morning and listened to the album a couple of times on my way into work...GREAT!!! Standouts so far include: "Two Lovers", "Stamp", "North Star" and Good Night". Can't wait to listen to it again on my way home.
This is an amazing week for music! Picking up new albums by Drive-By Truckers, Mogwai and The Dears later today...and then RADIOHEAD ON SATURDAY!!! Nothing could ruin this week.

I got the download code but was nowhere near my computer. Still haven't gotten it. Hoping at some point tonight I'll have a few spare minutes to download it and throw it on my ipod.
HAPPY RAA DAY!!!
