Dollar Store - Money Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

'Sinking Ships' is the much anticipated seventh studio album from the acclaimed Alberta Cross. A gorgeous 10-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 & subtly anthemic, beautifully mellow, folk-tinged and awash with a layered, maximalist sound that variously recalls The War On Drugs, Bon Iver & Phosphorescent. At all times, lead singer Petter Ericson Stakee's un-mistakable high-vocals, which have at times been compared to Jim James & Neil Young, soar through the music - particularly on album stand-outs 'Mercy' & '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, LukePotashnick - who recently bought and renovated The Wool Hall (legendary in part due to Van Morrisson and Tears for Fears recording albums there).

Plying choppy sonic waves between the best aspects of the roots rock ghetto, mid-80's Minneapolis punk and the vaunted Chicago noise guitar scene. There's even a startling cover of that long unheralded roots icon Cher ('Believe') Features members of the Waco Brothers InchDollar Store stir up a rootsy bar-band boogie that occasionally drifts into downtrodden common-man balladry; if the Jayhawks and Wilco stayed up real late getting ripped on cheap wine and bashing out Gram Parsons songs, it would sound something like this.Inch - SPLENDID
