‘If I Can’t Stop Your Heart from Breaking’ is the latest album from Victoria, BC’s Little Avalanche. It is a raw and unrelenting sonic attack from start to finish. From the opening synth sounds of [chaos theory] the to final piano chord of the title track, it takes the listener on a journey through the painful and chaotic relationship of Dex and Alice, a young homeless couple struggling with addiction.
Written from a first-hand perspective and lived experience, ‘If I Can’t Stop Your Heart from Breaking’ explores the concepts of addiction, homelessness, and mental health issues through the lens of a love story. The narrative focuses on the turbulent relationship of Dex and Alice. As is often the case in our world, people suffering from such issues are marginalized. However, they are no different than anyone else. They love, they fear, they hope, they dream, and they struggle to survive. This story is about compassion and the desire to create a more accepting society.
A portion of all sales will be donated to the Cedar Branches and Warmland Shelters in Duncan BC. Both shelters provide invaluable services and resources to those who suffer from addiction, mental health, and housing issues.
