“Watch Me Fall Down from Alberta Cross is a gorgeous hazy melodic composition that has beautifully woven lyrics that truly touch the soul.

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 debut record ‘The Thief & The Heartbreaker’ was an immediate hit and what followed was a success on both sides of the Atlantic which saw them embark on high-profile jaunts with Mumford & Sons, Portugal The Man, Neil Young, Johnny Marr, Ringo Starr, Them Crooked Vultures (Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones) and Rag N’ Bone Man. 

Recorded with producer and Mercury Prize nominated, critically acclaimed artist Ed Harcourt (Paloma Faith, James Bay, Lana Del Ray) at his studio Wolf Cabin, Watch Me Fall Down is an introspective exploration into a Father’s relationship with his children. Through shuffling drums, danceable melodies and atmospheric soundscapes hides powerful lyrics which are sure to resonate with anyone who struggles with the complexities of paternal connection.

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

Having children of my own, I connected almost instantly with “Watch Me Fall Down “
