California Noir - Chapter One: Analog Beaches & Digital Cities is the third studio album by American electronic rock band Julien-K. It is the first album without former drummer Elias Andra. During the recording process he was replaced by Eli James who he also replaced in Dead By Sunrise, the alternative rock side project of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington. Furthermore, this album is the first chapter of the concept album California Noir. The second chapter, Nightlife in Neon, was released on August 5, 2016.[1]
The album was first announced in January 2015 via Facebook. This announcement came along with an Indiegogo campaign in order to finance the album.[2] It started on January 26, 2015, and aimed for a goal of $10,000; however, when the campaign ended 30 days later more than $28,000 had been collected. The initial goal of $10,000 was reached within 10 hours.[3]
