The Rural Alberta Advantage have unveiled another song from their upcoming third album Mended With Gold. Stereogum premiered “Runners in the Night” off Mended With Gold, which will be released on September 30 on Saddle Creek.
Fans can head to the Rural Alberta Advantage’s YouTube Channel for exclusive commentary by Nils Edenloff on writing “Runners In The Night.”
Mended With Gold was recorded at Toronto’s Candle Recording with the band’s long-time live engineer Matt Lederman (Hayden, !!!, Besnard Lakes) alongside co-producer Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, F*cked Up). The album is available for pre-order now on CD & LP in Saddle Creek Online Store and digitally via Itunes. A limited Indie Exclusive version of the album will be released on clear vinyl with metallic gold sputter and will be available at local, independent record stores.
