I'm going to stick with the Ducktails theme in a couple of ways. The first is by being late on an artist that has been building a buzz on another excellent release: Life of Leisure by Washed Out aka Ernest Green. The second is through a shared aesthetic interest in wandering, abstract, tunes. This seems contradictory; dance and garage rock have rarely been considered complementary genres. However, as Nite Jewel's excellent, Good Morning has already proven, no genre is immune to the warm analog glow of this no-fi trend.
It also seems strange that a dance pop album induces such inertia. You will not run up out of your beach chair and start twisting when this record comes on. No, you will sink in. Your head may start to bob, but you won't notice. Your eyes will glaze. You will wake up 3 minutes later with that strange smile still on your face.
