Broken Side of Time

"...Music to lift both the heart and the roof..."
- Q Magazine (4 Stars)

More than clever verses and catchy choruses, truly timeless albums offer listeners the keys to another world; they catapult you into another frame of mind and jostle your soul a little bit along the way.

'Broken Side of Time' by Alberta Cross' is one of those albums. A cathartic, kaleidoscope of influences, from Depeche Mode to The Band, it's also the sound of Alberta Cross' two principals-frontman/guitarist-vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee and bassist Terry Wolfers-going for broke and stumbling across the sound of their dreams in the process.

'Broken Side of Time' is grand in volume and vast in vision. It's an inspired set of electric songs that finds the intersection of The Verve, My Morning Jacket and Neil Young (with or without Crazy Horse). Recorded in Austin, produced by the band with Mike McCarthy (Spoon, You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead) and mixed by John O'Mahoney (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.

Based in Brooklyn NYC, Alberta Cross has toured extensively through the UK and the US, sharing the stage with Neil Young, Oasis, The Shins, Bat for Lashes and Simian Mobile Disco, as well as playing Lollapolooza and Coachella Festivals.
