We are stoked to announce that Los Angeles / Brooklyn duo ALPACA will
release their debut album Demimonde via Robotic Empire this October!
Comprised of vocalist Justin Nuckols and multi-instrumentalist Allen
Blickle, Demimonde was recorded across locations in New York and the
members' native Virginia.

Much of ALPACA's material was initially created during arduous tour
schedules for BARONESS, the accomplished hard rock band for which
Blickle drummed. The dance, pop, and melody-driven compositions
Blickle crafted for ALPACA juxtapose with Nuckols’ darker,
groove-focused, and harmonic vocal explorations.

Blickle and Nuckols (who also are ex-step brothers) hunkered down in
Brooklyn during the winter of 2012-2013, expanding their mutual
visions and perfecting mixes, ultimately finishing a body of work many
years in the making. The end-result is a stunning debut, which we are
thrilled to release to the world both on vinyl and digitally.

Demimonde will be available in October, and a teaser trailer can be
viewed on ALPACA's YouTube channel (
http://www.youtube.com/user/ALPACABEATS ):

We've known Allen a long time, and it's been amazing to watch this
longrunning project gradually develop from self-recordings into a
full-fledged, killer album. Majorly looking forward to releasing this
come October, with lots of cool previews on deck in the weeks to come.

ALPACA is pretty switched on with the electronic omnipresence, so if
you're also inclined: Follow and Like and Share and all that good
stuff!
