The Rural Alberta Advantage release “FSHG” behind-the-scenes video

Canadian indie rock band The Rural Alberta Advantage have delivered a behind-the-scenes video for their latest track “FSHG” today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was filmed on band members’ phones during the recording session for their new album The Rise & The Fall. Vocalist Nils Edenloff said this about the song:

“I wanted us to record ‘FSHG’ live off the floor and feel like a counterpoint to the rest of the album. We laboured over so many minute details on 'The Rise & The Fall', and I wanted to record ‘FSHG' while it still felt organic and raw. Lock it up before we had a chance to tinker with it too much. I also wanted people listening to the record to feel as though they’re peeking in on a brief and momentary event. So much of the album deals with events and snippets of time, and with ‘FSHG', as the song progresses it starts to evaporate, pulling away from the listener and fading into nothing. Sort of reminding us that not everything lasts forever."

The Rural Alberta Advantage will embark on a headlining tour across North America with support from Mariel Buckley and Julianna Riolino on select legs. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.

The Rise & The Fall is available on digital services right now via Saddle Creek/Paper Bag Records.
