I lived in rural Alberta for a bit (Lethbridge a la “The Dethbridge in Lethbridge”) and can say the advantages compared to my current Brooklyn dwellings include cheaper rent, more time to read, fewer hipsters, the gorgeous prairie landscape, and friends with a canola farm. The Toronto-via-Alberta trio know all this. “Drain The Blood” — not a Distillers cover — comes from their Gummy Award-placing album Hometowns. The video, directed by Ante Kovac, involves all sorts of bugging, secret video feeds, and general espionage. Not sure if it has anything to do with that Olympics Committee clause they signed.
Hometowns is out via Saddle Creek.

this is the most underrated album of the year
Totally agree! Saw these guys a few times in the last year. Really solid live show and really nice, humble folks.
Lethbridge actually has cool things happening right now – Myelin Sheaths have a single out this month on HoZac and Bachelor this month.
Yeah, there were plenty of good things going on when I was there, too. Everything I listed is a positive in my mind. My friends made tons of art and I wrote a lot … and somehow we all had the free time to wander the coulees.
