Aficionado: Empty

No Sleep Records is announcing that Aficionado will be releasing Empty on September 18th. The release will be available digitally as well as on limited edition vinyl 7”, which can be pre-ordered now at nosleepstore.com.

Aficionado will be joining No Sleep labelmate Mixtapes for a co-headlining tour along with support band Citizen, which kicks off on September 25 in Rochester, New York.
