Bootleg Rascal seem to have made it their New Year’s resolution to tour as much as possible in 2016 with announcing a tour launching their first full-length album, ‘Asleep In The Machine’.

The album hones in on their mutant dublactic hip-hop sounds and hooky song-crafting. Working with artist/producer, LyMo in the studio The Rascals have put together something tasty.

The third (most recent) single is the title track off the album, 'Asleep In The Machine', which was added to Triple J's rotation list the week of its release. Dom Alessio of Triple J described it as "an explosion of sunshine", and Gemma Pike has claimed the song as her summer jam.

Staying true to the Rascal flavour, the album features some taco-licking tones that shoot from the hip and bounce off into a galaxy of space gorillaz. It's an album that will dip you into a Cancun boat party, then shake you into the Sunday morning recovery. Including: 'Oh I Know', 'Holding On' and title track 'Asleep In The Machine'.

Carlos' prego sauce-dipped vocals are the salsa in the taco layer. Sitting above Jimmy's unique intergalactic guitar riffs, Sgrillex's dubtastic basslines and synths and Jack's trip-hop beats and kicks.

The band will be coming straight off the National Shake 'N' Bake Tour and a few festivals over the summer including Falls Festival, Lost Paradise and Festival of the Sun. After the Asleep In The Machine Album Tour, they've got their sights set for North America in May 2016, supporting long-time label mates, Sticky Fingers.
