DUCK.
Renowned rock-fusion trio
The Aristocrats
are excited to reveal the album title and concept of their first studio
album in five years: DUCK will be available in both standard and deluxe
edition formats as well as vinyl on February 16th, 2024. The new
concept album will be released via BOING Music, distributed via Hostile
City Distro/MVD in North America. The trademark Aristocratic musical
mayhem is rowdier than ever, but the band’s fifth studio album is truly
like nothing else in their catalogue. DUCK is mixed by Forrester Savell
(Twelve Foot Ninja, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect) and
contains original character artwork by film animator Lance Myers (Space
Jam, Anastasia, Quest For Camelot).
Of the inspiration for DUCK,
The Aristocrats
collectively explained, “It is the story of a web-footed Antarctic
Island native fleeing a penguin policeman all the way to New York City…
where considerable misadventure and danger await.” Of its genesis, they
elaborated, “We’ve always been writing with a storytelling aspect in
mind, and our live shows always include our stories behind the songs…
But the stories had mainly been about us. Then Marco came into the
studio with a song about a duck, and we all looked at each other and
said, ‘What if all of stories for the songs on this album… happened to a
duck? What’s that story about?’ And suddenly we had a concept album on
our hands.”
DUCK
will be available in both standard and deluxe editions. The standard
edition features the original CD, whilst the deluxe edition contains the
original CD along with a USB DUCK drive with behind-the-scenes footage,
demos and more, a DUCK pass laminate with QR code for bonus features
and a custom Aristocrats-branded lanyard. DUCK will also be available in
180-gram double vinyl.
Coinciding
with the release of DUCK, The Aristocrats will headline select dates on
the West Coast of the United States. Please see below for the itinerary
