I recently snagged myself a copy of the new Woodsist comp, and as I’m soaking in the Ducktails track, I’m thinking about two things in particular: (1) this song is awesome, though it’s not the Ducktails I was expecting, and (2) has Ducktails actually released anything on Woodsist? Cause it would make total sense if he had (he being Matt Mondanile, of course). In fact, it would surprise me if he hadn’t. Turns out he hasn’t! But this brings me to my next point:
The late 80s/early 90s were awesome, and for those who are unaware of this fact (which can only be fully realized by prodigal children of the 80s), Ducktails is going to drive the point home, assumingly, by releasing a new LP for who other than Woodsist. If my mind wasn’t sedate from the traumatic subjection to The Golden Girls as a child, I might have been capable of putting two and two together, and therefore you might have gotten this news sooner. The name of the forthcoming psych whirlwind is Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics, and it’s set for release sometime this fall.
To get all the kids pumped up for this release, Ducktails will be touring the US and Europe throughout this month and most of September. In conjunction with the late-80s/early-90s vibe, all attendees are asked to sport their freshest Reebok pumps and two-tone tees. Sorry, bad joke.
