Alberta Cross were formed by Petter Ericson Stakee and Terry Wolfers in the mid-00s. Their anthemic Americana-tinged songs possess a vulnerability and earthiness, consistently pushing the boundaries of alternative rock with their timeless sound and artistic vision.
The latest track, Watch Me Fall combines melodic vocals with synth and jangling guitars, building tension with distorted chords in the chorus.
Discussing the lyrical themes behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Petter Ericson Stakee says;
I'd say its a fever dream about the dichotomy between the idealistic perspective that one's offspring have of their patriarch, yet really there's a giant invisible tiger pulling all the stitches out of his mangled puppet body. With a lot of guitar pedals for good measure.
The single Watch Me Fall Down is available through all streaming platforms.
