Ducktails’ new album The Flower Lane drops next month (1/29) via Domino. We’ve previously posted the album’s title track, but the official first single is “Letter Of Intent,” a slow-rollin’ synth-pop tune that sounds nothing like any of the Ducktails’ prior tunes. Regardless, this is certainly catchy. It features vocals from singer Jessa Farkas, and a couple of other noteworthy guests: Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, on synth, and Lopatin’s Ford & Lopatin partner Joel Ford on bass. Take a listen to the swell vibes below:

Ducktails is Real Estate guitarist’s Matthew Mondanile’s other band. In what has become an increasingly less “solo” endeavor of Matt Mondanile’s, Ducktails is set to release The Flower Lane, which is the project’s fourth album and his first for Domino. It follows up 2010’s excellent (and overlooked) Arcade Dynamics III and is out January 29, 2013. Check out the title track below:

Stream Animal Collective’s brilliantly original new album, Centipede Hz here, on demand. It’s out September 4th via Domino.

Listen to “Dance For You”, the second single from the Dirty Projectors’ upcoming album Swing Lo Magellan, which is out July 10 on Domino. Pretty straight forward Dirty Projectors here, which is to say not straight forward at all in a standard musical sense. That guitar solo from Dave Longstreth is all sorts of fantastic. Listen below:
