Featured: Ducktails

To be released January 2011.


Ducktails is the one-man psychedelic pop project of Matthew Mondanile, guitarist for North Jersey's Real Estate and more importantly, a proud son of the mid-1980s. At 22 he started releasing his own cassette albums at first living in Northampton, MA. His first 7 inch came out on Breaking World Records followed by a string of LP's, Cassettes, and CD's on small independent likeminded labels like Not Not Fun, Olde English Spelling Bee, Release the Bats, Arbor, Goaty Tapes etc. Born in Ridgewood, NJ and now surrounded by a like-minded crew of young songwriters, Matt spends his time either touring or recording in the basement of his parent's house and partying in the city. Categorized by David Keenan as part of the "hypnagogic pop" movement, Ducktails attempts to realize a shared cultural memory and nostalgia through various genres, drone, psych, music concrete, etc. Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics, is Mondanile's third official full-length LP and will be released by Woodsist Records in Jan. 2011.

New Darlings EP!

About a year ago, Darlings released an epic full length on Famous Class Records that tore up the tender airwaves of WUSB. They're at it again with a new EP and they've actually released a really sweet sugary single called Big Girl that has the same poppy vibes that Weezer had back in the day. Being compared to the old Rivers is never a bad thing, right? I'm pretty stoked to hear what the rest of the EP will be like, so stay on the look out for it's birth in our studio! In a meantime, check out this insanely catchy single, Big Girl!
