This New Ducktails Joint Aint’ Half Bad

The last record that Ducktails put out really got ignored by me. I thoroughly enjoyed Ducktails III, but the Flower Lane just didn’t do it for me; there was too much focus on creating this over-the-head pop sensation.  But, on his latest single, it looks like Mondanile is finding that middle ground, smoothing out the edges on his chilled-pop songwriting.  I’m a little trepidatious to jump in with both feet, but it sounds as if St. Catherine will have a huge redeeming quality to it; we’ll find out on July 24th when Domino releases the album in full.
