Alcoa (side project of Defeater’s Derek Archambault) announces sophomore album, 'Parlour Tricks'

Alcoa, the side project of Defeater frontman Derek Archambault, have announced that they will release their sophomore studio album, Parlour Tricks, on February 24 via Bridge Nine Records. The effort will feature instruments such as an upright bass, banjo, fiddle, pedal steel and piano/organ, along with guest vocals from Derek's wife, Alyssa Archambault. While more information will be revealed soon, you can check out the LP's artwork below. Be sure to leave us a comment with your thoughts!

Over the summer, Derek launched a PledgeMusic campaign to raise funds that will go toward paying off the costs of his hip replacement surgery. In the past, issues with his hip have prevented him from touring; most recently forcing Defeater to drop off their spring tour as support for the Wonder Years.
