2009, ATO
Alberta Cross' ATO Records debut, Broken Side of Time, is a cathartic kaleidoscope of influences, from Depeche Mode to The Band. Grand in its volume and vast in vision, it is an inspired set of electric songs that finds the intersection between the Verve, My Morning Jacket and Neil Young.
Broken Side of Time serves as Alberta Cross' official introduction to the US, rounded out by guitarist Sam Kearney, drummer Austin Beede and keyboardist Alec Higgins. Recorded in Austin, produced by the band with Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Dead Confederate, Heartless Bastards) and mixed by John O'Mahoney (Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Kasabian) at Electric Lady Studios, the album melds propulsive, throbbing bass lines and crashing waves of guitar to a haunting, impassioned voice that can sound ancient and Appalachian.
