Alberta Cross, the band celebrated by giants such as Rolling Stone, is excited to announce their latest single "Watch Me Fall Down," releases today on, March 1st, 2024. This release, via Dark Matter / Austral Media and distributed by Kartel Music Group, marks another milestone step in the band's journey, blending introspective lyrics with their signature anthemic sound.
"Watch Me Fall Down" was recorded with the Mercury Prize-nominated, critically acclaimed artist and producer Ed Harcourt at Wolf Cabin studio. The single marries the complex emotions of a father's relationship with his children, combining danceable melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and shuffling drums beneath powerful lyrics that promise to resonate with listeners grappling with the nuances of familial connections.
Swedish-born lead singer and guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee, along with his London counterpart Terry Wolfers, founded Alberta Cross in the mid-2000s. Their music, an amalgamation of Americana-tinged songs, exudes vulnerability and earthiness. Alberta Cross has consistently challenged the boundaries of alternative rock with their timeless sound and artistic vision, evident since their debut record "The Thief & The Heartbreaker" began captivating audiences.
The band's journey has been marked by success across the Atlantic, underscored by high-profile tours with legends such as Mumford & Sons, Neil Young, and Ringo Starr, among others. Their music has graced distinguished TV shows, including "CSI," "Sons of Anarchy," and "Californication," earning acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, and more.
"Watch Me Fall Down" stands as a testament to Alberta Cross's evolving sound and deepening narrative content. It's not just a song; it's an introspective journey into the heart of familial bonds, set against the backdrop of their rich, anthemic soundscapes.
