Praise for The Rural Alberta Advantage’s debut, ‘Hometowns’:
NME  9/10  Awesome
Clash  ‘Hometowns’ is one of the best debuts of the year
Uncut  The RAA’s narratives are as expansive as the prairie where singer-songwriter Nils Edenloff grew up, but they’re also full of resonant, intimate detail. Clattering tearaway percussion lends his rustic pop a crucial urgency

Signed to Saddle Creek (home to Bright Eyes, Cursive, Azure Ray et al), The Rural Alberta Advantage write percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak.
