Riff: The Rural Alberta Advantage – “Runners in the Night”

Sep 19, 2014

I saw you rush into the fire/Bounced on the bones with a darkness in your eyes/Our thoughts were crippled by desire

from Runners in the Night lyrics by The Rural Alberta Advantage

The RAA get more solemn, slow, and heavy here in all aspects of the music. After a long break between albums, they’re aging like a fine (yet depressing) wine best enjoyed on cold gray days and long train rides home, or whenever you address the aches in your “bones” and the “darkness in your eyes;” [LISTEN].
