The track features on upcoming album ‘The Thief And The Heartbreaker (Re-Imagined)’ which is due for release on 22 November via Dark Matter/Austral Media with Kartel Music Group. A new take on Alberta Cross’s debut, which set the foundation for their Americana-tinged indie and alternative sound, the re-imagined album hosts a wealth of musical collaborations from friends. Re-recorded in Frome, Somerset, at Ethan John and Dom Monks (Big Thief) Bert Jansch studio, the release was self-produced by Alberta Cross vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee, and mastered at the hallowed Abbey Road Studios with 360 Mastering. Across the album, there’s a wealth of contributions and appearances from musicians that crossed paths with Alberta Cross over the course of their two decade long career – Katie Melua, Jack Savoretti, Dylan Le Blanc, Tomas Andersson, Ed Harcourt & more’. Their re-works honour the original whilst breathing new life into each track. A lot has changed over the past two decades, but it’s clear from ‘The Thief And The Heartbreaker (Re-Imagined)’ that Alberta Cross’s songwriting and debut release remain timeless. Originally released in 2007 as a collection of self produced demos, Alberta Cross’s ‘The Thief and The Heartbreaker’ set the blueprint of their sound. “It felt so great writing those songs” recalls Petter. “Wherever I play in the world, I still have to play them. It felt so pure, it was one of the most exciting times I’ve had as a songwriter”. What followed was success on both sides of the Atlantic and the relentless grind of US touring that comes with it. They embarked on high-profile jaunts with Mumford & Sons, Portugal. The Man, Neil Young, Them Crooked Vultures and Rag N’ Bone Man and performed on distinguished TV shows around the globe, appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly and more, whilst their tracks were featured on hit TV shows such as Million Little Pieces, Sons Of Anarchy and Californication.
