Following the successful release of November's debut collaboration Crooked House
, Alberta Cross and Band Of Skulls have joined forces again on their latest single Born In Amazement.
The bands first crossed paths in 2009 and it's a surprise that their creative meetings of the minds hadn't come sooner. Fans of Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys and Queens of the Stone Age will find something to be excited about in this union of creativity.
Speaking about their latest release the bands say:
We were channeling Bowie... And the Boss. Singing until our throats were like razor blades. In a world full of conflict and chaos we try to remember we're born with no hate in our hearts, and look at the world in wonder and amazement. Even if we lose our way, it's worth searching for peace, fighting for love- Russell Marsden of Band Of Skulls
I love the sleazy upbeat glam feel of this one. Marc Bolan would have been proud. Once again very lush to be creating art with these two dudes. Lyrically I feel like it's bang on where we're at in the world. Too much damn evil and no compassion out there for your fellow humans. This song still feels hopeful though. Let love win. Let love in. I hope we get to play these songs together at a cool festival somewhere soon... They're made for that joyous experience!- Petter Ericson Stakee of Alberta Cross
Tune two of the Alberta Cross and Band Of Skulls collaboration. This was a fun T-Rex, Bowie, Springsteen inspired mashup. Was super fun to make and felt great in the room with us all! Once again magic happened and we couldn't be happier.- Marc MacNab-Jack, drummer for both bands
The single Born In Amazement is available through all streaming platforms.
