Alberta Cross - Broken Side of Time

Review by Paul Brown

Broken Side of Time is far from a wash-out, but it feels like an opportunity spurned. Some real quality lies within, but it’s difficult to lose yourself entirely when you know you can’t trust it not to wander off down the wrong path. »

'broken side of time' is a cathartic kaleidoscope of influences, from depeche mode to the band. grand in its volume and vast in vision, it is an inspired set of electric songs that finds the intersection between the verve, my morning jacket and neil young. recorded in austin, produced by the band with mike mccarthy (spoon, dead confederate, heartless bastards) and mixed by john o'mahoney (depeche mode, 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.
