When Matthew Mondanile isn't playing guitar for critical darlings Real Estate in the studio or on the road, he's apparently either out partying or hanging in his parents' basement recording woozy electronic music under the name Ducktails. As its title might imply, Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics is his third full-length under the '90s cartoon-recalling moniker. And it continues in the tradition of the previous releases as it finds Mondanile tinkering with various electronics and instruments to craft his take on psych-driven drone. Or chillwave, if you prefer that term.
