ALCOA - Bone & Marrow

Alcoa, the solo project of Derek Archambault of Defeater, is gearing up for the release of Bone & Marrow on February 26th. Cover art for the debut LP was revealed today, done by NH-based tattoo artist Steve Minerva. Bone & Marrow was recorded in mid-2012, first in Derek's hometown of Portsmouth, NH, then at Mike Moschetto's The Office Recording (N. Andover, MA) and at Jay Maas' Getaway Recording Studio (for vocal tracks and mastering). This debut album will feature eleven pop/country-tinged songs about life, love and regret. Also prevalent on the album is the addition of instrumentation like upright bass, banjo, fiddle, pedal steel, piano/organ, and charming guy/girl dueling vocals (featuring Archambault's fiance Alyssa Eygnor), making it Alcoa's most complete and mature effort to date.
