Another great song up today from the Toronto indie-rock trio The Rural Alberta Advantage. Drain the Blood is off the band’s debut LP Hometowns, which was re-released (with the backing of Saddle Creek Records) this past July; Saddle Creek’s lineup also includes the indie acts Bright EyesBright Eyes reviews
, Tokyo Police Club, and Land of Talk. Drain the Blood is another fine example of why so many people are excited about The Rural Alberta Advantage. Straightforward songwriting, passion soaked vocals, and drumming that makes you wish you knew more about drumming, power this song, and the entire album. For more from the album, we’ve also posted the songs below.
The Rural Alberta Advantage -- In the Summertime
The Rural Alberta Advantage -- Don’t Haunt This Place
Well I felt you drain the blood
from my left ventricle
anytime you said you would
change my heart into petrified wood
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to save you tonight
to save you tonight
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to make it through the night
to make it through the night
open your heart
open your hands
I love the moment that you command
it’s true
loving you
open your heart
open your hands
I love the moment that you command
it’s true
loving you
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to save you tonight
to save you tonight
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to make it through the night
to make it through the night
I felt you drain the blood
from my left ventricle
anytime you said you would
change my heart into petrified wood
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to make it through the night
to make it through the night
oh oh oh I’m really trying
to save you tonight
to save you tonight
