By design, Baby Alpaca is more than just a band name: it’s a whole aesthetic for the Brooklyn-based musician and fashion designer Chris Kittrell. His slow-burn ballads and simple pop songs have a romantic, airy feeling, but his bigger message is a striving adventure story. Softly-sung baritone vocals that sometimes channel James Blake, cover sparse guitars or keyboards, while he sings about believing in his own potential even if others don’t.
