And I keep on sinking
And I’m loveless in a tunnel
And the children think I levitate
And I can’t see no colour in this
Endless trepidation
And I’m trying not to
Lose my head

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the single, vocalist and lyricist Petter Ericson Stakee says: “I’d say its a fever dream about the dichotomy between the idealistic perspective that one’s offspring have of their patriarch, yet really there’s a giant invisible tiger pulling all the stitches out of his mangled puppet body. With a lot of guitar pedals for good measure.”

On his time in the studio with Petter, producer Ed Harcourt comments: “It was a pleasure having Petter in the studio, even if he did insist on opening his jar of rotten mackerel for lunch. We danced in the pale shoegaze moonlight with the patron saint of tinnitus.”

Alberta Cross were formed by Swedish-born lead singer and guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee and his London pal Terry Wolfers in the mid-00s. Their anthemic Americana-tinged songs possessed a vulnerability and earthiness, they’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of alternative rock with their timeless sound and artistic vision, and it soon showed in how hugely their debut record The Thief & The Heartbreaker began to connect.

What followed was a 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 Oasis, Mumford & Sons, Portugal The Man, Neil Young, Johnny Marr, Ringo Starr, 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, CSI, Sons of Anarchy and Californication.
