New Ducktails Video - "Landrunner"

Matt Mondanile, a member of NJ BTW (and enjoyable live act) Real Estate takes care of his more abstract and/or expansive tendencies in Ducktails and Predator Vision. To date the LP section of Ducktails' discography remains somewhere in the future, but you can expect the first self-titled collection out on Not Not Fun in early May. Also, keep your eyes peeled for Landscapes out on Olde English Spelling Bee a bit later. Here's the Landscapes's driving, sunny "Landrunner" attached to the psyched-out cut-n-paste Max-Ernst-at-the-beach imagery of an Alice Cohen-directed video.

Landscapes is out sometime down the road via Olde English Spelling Bee. Before that happens, Ducktails is on tour with the excellent Finnish act Tomutonttu, aka Jan Anderzén of Kemialliset Ystävät. (Yes, more Fonal-associated sounds.) You can check up on these Ducktails dates plus Predator Vision and Real Estate shows and additional sounds, at MySpace.

The Ducktails set I caught at the Not Not Fun showcase at SXSW was my favorite of the week by a band I was not previously familiar with. That may sound like measured praise, but it's not meant to be. I thought the dude was great and was bummed that he had no recordings at the time. Looking forward to these.

Cary, Matt has a lot of recordings. However, they are/were mostly limited runs on 7-inch and cassette that quickly sold out. A lot of people are just now hearing what a lot of underground collectors and watchers were privy to a couple of months prior and it's great.

I've been diggin' "Landrunner" a lot--it has a Roy Montgomery vibe running throughout and is a welcome change-up from the traditional Ducktails 'beach' sound.
