Ducktails, the increasingly less "solo" endeavour of Matt Mondanile (also of indie rock band Real Estate), have released three albums full of airy, home-recorded tunes. The Flower Lane, Ducktails’ fourth album, is set to be released on January 28. The album takes a turn toward the more collaborative environment of the studio, with Mondanile roping in close friends and colleagues to make music that is more adventurous and easy-going than previous releases. The ten songs on The Flower Lane move across a range of bright, expansive pop songs, but venture even further with forays into saxophone leads, synth lines, and piano accompaniment that create an emotional, ambient indie pop experience.
