Every time I think I’ve uncovered all the hidden gems I find another one, this is fine music. This band has two other more recent releases not available on Bandcamp, also amazing. Kind of a mix of genres with the post rock backbone I enjoy so much, very talented! Deej
Progarchives rates the sophomore album of the band lower than their debut ‘Circle of Life’, but I rate it higher. I feel this album has a better flow & that the drama within it has been presented in a more proportionate, next-level manner. The bands’ songwriting seems more mature. Not that the album lacks drama. There’s plenty of it here. This is a very good prog-metal album. I’m especially impressed with Luca’s guitar wizardry. Wow! He’s up there with the best shredders! 7.5+/10. Alrihkh
An hour of spacey, dreamlike new music from Ducktails. “Daffy Duck in Hollywood” boasts mirage-like songs with laid-back melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2017
My choice of a favourite song is not set in stone; there are a lot of subtleties to absorb in these songs, both lyrically and instrumentally. I can say, with conviction, that this is top tier neo~prog in the vein of Porcupine Tree, and it often hits 🎯on my ‘musical quest dartboard’. Lyrics are thoughtful and personal, and the accompanying music is always a complementary partner that walks hand in hand with the vocals. Hillward’s sound is satisfyingly diverse and pleasurable.
8+\10. Alrihkh
