Toronto-based trio The Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole, and Paul Banwatt) play indie-rock songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up in Central and Northern Alberta. They sing about summers in the Rockies and winters on the farm, ice breakups in the spring time and the oil boom’s charm, the mine workers on compressed, the equally depressed, the city’s slow growth and the country’s wild rose, but mostly the songs just try to embrace the advantage of growing up in Alberta.

@Frijo I think they will, yes. Purely because the extra songs I've heard since Hometowns (Barnesyard, These Arms/Two Lovers, North Star, and the untitled one from your link TBA) are all easily up to tthe same standard. Barnesyard in particular is one of my favourite RAA tracks.
