Ducktails
As a somewhat “jaded” musical observer, it isn’t often that a record catches you off guard by mixing sounds and vibes both of (and not of) its time. It’s the Willennium after all – everybody does that! Ducktails’, The Flower Lane, isn’t just a rare “out of the blue” pleasure, it honestly seems to have […]

Cody ChesnuTT has returned at long last with more Headphone Masterpieces… (After 10 years, one wouldn’t be called nuTTs for thinking Cody had disappeared “for-ev-vor”.)
