clathrus ~ balaklava boating (steak au zoo, 2012)

"clathrus is a digital voodoo experimental electronic project from moscow, russia. their music is a cool little collection of laid back, electronic dreamscapes. there's a nice kind of folky, world music vibe running through the album, especially noticeable in the vaguely gamelan percussion. recommended for your trance-inducing pleasure." geräuschkrieg

ducktails ~ ducktails III: arcade dynamics (woodsist 2010)

"...that delightful lazy summer day vibe hasn’t left the Ducktails music either, had this come out in the summer I’d probably be blasting this every day. As it stands, I guess I can close my eyes and pretend it is warmer." beach sloth

ducktails ~ landscapes lp (olde english spelling bee 2009)

"If hypnagogic pop has been the sound of summer, then Ducktails have been the summery sound of summer. Landscapes is the third Ducktails release. Matthew Mondanile from New Jersey plays everything on Landscapes, guitars, synths, drum machines..., and adds occasional vocals to create these wonderful, sun-dappled landscapes. The end results betray influences ranging from 1970s German music (the synth melody of “Spring” hints at Kraftwerk’s “Neon Lights”, while “Landrunner” runs on Michael Rother-esque guitars) to surf pop (those hazy backing vocals recall the Beach Boys, while there is a big fuzzy surf guitar twang), but lo-fi (albeit much higher-fi than on Backyard). Even at its most languid, with Mondanile intoning like a stoned Thurston Moore with a duvet in his mouth on “Wishes”, it has a compelling charm: he has successfully created a sound world which sets him apart from his peers. With Autumn poised over the climactic toilet bowl, loosening its belt, I’d love to wrap myself in the thick, protective towelling of Ducktails for the next few months." mapsadaisical

the parasails - skylife (el tule 2009)

"Get ready for the ride of your life. Live in the sky recordings featuring 'McGuire in the Ocean', 'Jump!' and 'Atlantic City" future sounds

"Come Join us 500 feet above the Atlantic Ocean for the 1982 Summer Season. Enjoy the views of your favorite Beaches and wave to your friends below as you check out schools of Sealife. Parasails is a new project from purveyor of feel-good tunes, Matt Mondanile (Ducktails, Real Estate). More of the lo-fi, tropical nostalgia his fans have come to expect, but this time instead of sitting on the beach sipping on margaritas, this tape takes you for a dream-like flight above the coastline" animal psi
