Limited is the synth pop solo project of Alex Craig who also does time with New York-based indie pop outfit Big Troubles . Limited's debut 73 is available through New Images , the label run by Real Estate guitarist and Ducktails mastermind Matt Mondanile... That may be quite a lot of names to drop, but it gives you an idea of the sort of credentials behind this band. While it's not clear when a proper debut album will be released, the 2 songs on this 73 will definitely keep your anticipation [...]
Aside from playing bass in indie rock band Real Estate , New Jersey's Alex Bleeker creates a haunting brand of jangly folk rock in his side project, Alex Bleeker and The Freaks . The project just unveiled a new song titled, "Don't Look Down," prepping us for their new LP to be released this May on Woodsist Records . Like with his last album, Bleeker recruits the help of his "freaks," including Mountain Man 's Amelia Meath, Woods ' Jarvis Tanviere, Real Estate's Jackson Pollis, and Big Troubles ' Sam Franklin. [...]
Ducktails: The Flower Lane – Listening to Ducktails' new album The Flower Lane , you start to get the sense that Matthew Mondanile, the part-time Real Estate guitarist and creative force behind Ducktails , is reaching for something outside his grasp. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that Mondanile 's musical abilities fall short on this album. Far from it. What I mean here is that music on The Flower Lane seems to be aiming for a constantly moving target. The album itself is a patchwork [...]
Led by Real Estate’s guitar player Matthew Mondanile, Ducktails return with an accessible yet beautifully multi-faceted pop record.
Matt Mondanile groupthinks his new solo record. Real Estate’s role as suburban New Jersey’s jangle-pop poet laureates has been greatly exaggerated—at least according to the band’s guitarist, Matt Mondanile. “It’s cool that we’re from where ... read more
Ducktails , the project of Real Estate 's Matthew Mondanile, has released the single, "Letter of Intent", from the forthcoming album, The Flower Lane . The song features vocals from Jessa Farkas of Future Shuttle and Ian Drennan of Big Troubles . While past Ducktails' releases were more scattered [...]
Packed with several collaborations, Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile's forthcoming LP, The Flower Lane (out January 29th on Domino), promises to be his most evolved release to date under the Ducktails moniker. And if new ... read more
It's been a long time since I've even really thought about Lilys , but I'm so glad the band is back with a new tune. The project was always that of Kurt Heasley, and they've bounced around stalwart labels like Sub Pop and Slumberland , landing their newest single on Speakertree Records . You can find the following tune on a new split with Big Troubles , another band we adore here at ATH. It's a gem of a pop tune, including [...]
by Bill Pearis Part Time San Francisco's Part Time released their debut LP, What Would You Say? , last year on Mexican Summer which plays like a hazy remembrance of '80s memories that were probably originally held by Ric Ocasek. It's very sports jacket with pushed up sleeves kind of music (aka very Ariel Pink) and you can stream it below via Rdio. The group will be on the East Coast for a show at Glasslands [...]
Limited is the new project of Big Troubles’ Alex Craig. His debut 7-inch is out now on New Images, the label started by Matthew Mondanile bka Ducktails. The single's promising B-side, "New Day Rising," nicely ... read more
>> Lilys is a Clicky Clicky All-Time Top Five Band, so we get very worked up when the nomadic act, led by chameleonic mastermind Kurt Heasley, gets around to releasing new music. And finally, after almost seven years , we've got some: here comes Lilys ' meandering pop masterpiece "Well Traveled Is Protest," one side of a split single being released by Virginia's Speakertree Records Nov. 13. You may recall Speakertree as the outfit that released White Laces ' excellent full-length debut Moves this past summer [ review here ]. "Well Traveled Is [...]
When Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile first started making music as Ducktails , it was away from the band setting, tucked in his bedroom, making simple, earnest recordings. Three albums later, and Mondanile finds himself with a full backing band and a host of collaborators for the outfit's fourth LP, The Flower Lane , due out January 29th, 2013 via their new label Domino Records. The 10-track effort was recorded throughout this past summer with Al Carlson (Peaking Lights, Oneohtrix Point Never) as Real Estate's touring activity slowed. Aside from Carlson's skilled guidance, the [...]
King Cyst is what happens when the rough makings of an instrumental Doors tribute band meet the lyrical drift of Luka Usmiani (of Big Troubles) and improv sax. The result is refreshingly varied psychpop that ... read more
One of the dudes from Big Troubles is releasing a 73 under the name LTD . Here's a cut. It's pretty dreamy-80s. (via Ad Hoc )
We've had seven sunny weekends in a row, which must be some kind of record for the Northwest. As such, it's been the perfect time to take out the Bimmer. And in related news, Andi's dad thought it would be a fun project to spend a weekend sanding it down and giving it a new paint job. Score. Now on to music: Stuarto, the host leading into my 10pm Friday night show at KSVR and KSVU, and I have been concocting plans. These brief quarter-hour strategy sessions that take place [...]
non ci si stanca mai di un album come Romantic Comedy dei #Big Troubles , una collezione di singoli perfetti per la primavera e l’estate, da cui continuiamo a pescare nuovi brani.
Playful pop with a lo-fi edge by way of two minute songs is the domain of Brooklyn's The Hairs . "I Remember Alien Gonzales" serves up word play though a song title and chorus that cleverly references a headline grabbing story from a decade ago. "Duh" (streaming below, video here ) is happy, foot tappin' garage-punk, with traces of Robert Smith guitar interplay. "Ghetto Control" continues the lo-fi sonics, with lyrical references to cops and social disobedience. "Houseplant Songgg" is a compact 1:39 in length while still fulfilling the requirements one expects from a [...]
