Ducktails (album)
Ducktails is the self-titled debut studio album by American psychedelic pop act Ducktails, released on May 11, 2009 on Not Not Fun. The album is the first of two full-length albums released in 2009, with Landscapes following three months later.
Artwork
Regarding the album's artwork, Matt Mondanile noted: "The first record – all those stripes – that’s this artist in Finland named Jan Anderzen. He makes this insane-o music, but I was super into his art for a long time. He just makes these crazy paintings. I always want artists to do things."[1]
Reception
In a positive review, which compares Mondanile's work to the electronica act Boards of Canada, Allmusic's Jesse Jarnow wrote: "Ducktails' vibe is nearly impeccable. Regardless of musical development - Mondanile's willfully lo-fi and hiss-filled approach leaves much room for development and growth - his summer town imagery (other titles include "Pizza Time," "Beach Point Pleasant," and "Daily Vacation") combined with his nostalgic palette make Ducktails eminently listenable."[2]
