What sort of sounds occur when you combine two of the most notoriously gentile and majestic creatures in the animal kingdom? I’m not really sure, but I suppose we’ll all get an idea when Ducktails (a.k.a. Matthew Mondanile, also of Real Estate and Predator Vision fame) releases his collaborative track with co-sound landscaper Panda Bear. On January 10, Ducktails will be releasing a fresh new full-length titled Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics via Woodsist. This release will include a bonus track featuring good ol’ PB titled “Killin the Vibe”. Not only will this bonus track be featured on the album but the release will also contain the original non-Panda Bear version of the song!! Word from Pitchfork is that both tracks also feature some guest help from Dent May and Woods’ Travis Taveniere.
If you don’t want to wade through all those pesky non-Panda-Bear-featuring songs, come February Mondanile will release a 12-inch prominently featuring the Panda Bear version as the debut release on his own New Images label. Got the tracklist for that right down below:
A1. Killin the Vibe [ft. Panda Bear]
A2. Couch Surfer
B1. Sit Around with Ya
B2. Killin the Vibe [ft. Spectrals]
