The Albertans have emerged from the studio for a third time more confident in themselves, more cohesive as a group, and with a new album that explores deeper territory than the off kilter pop hooks they're known for. Out on September the 10th "Dangerous Anything" offers a sound that's dark and often challenging while still making previous comparisons to MGMT, CAN, and Sparks as appropriate as ever.

Guitarist/Vocalist Joel Bravo says this record changed the way they approached song writing all together. "We stopped forcing ourselves to be together constantly. We left each other alone and then when we got together, we wrote everything in the room as a group. And when we got sick of listening to ourselves play, we stopped. The end result is a record I love".

"Dangerous Anything" is set entirely at night, touching on the ominous, the eerie, and the nocturnally ecstatic. The album single "Casual Encounters" is all three experiences combined. Bravo said "It marks that point in the evening when you are dropped off on a corner expecting to meet a group of friends and they are not there. You look around and decide to go into a bar alone. But the bar is empty. A bartender walks out, you get drunk, you kiss, then you leave".

Defects from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the U.S., The Albertans found each other in Vancouver and proceeded to unglamorously tour North America for the next 2 years in a propane-fueled short bus making stops at SXSW, OLIO and Sled Island along the way.
