Ducks LTD Bring You Modern Fiction

Toronto’s Ducks Ltd. (formerly Ducks Unlimited - which begs the question - what happened to the supply of ducks?!?!), the bright jangle-pop duo of Tom McGreevy (lead vocal, guitar, bass, keyboards) and Evan Lewis (guitar, bass, drum programming) are gearing up to release their debut album Modern Fiction on October 1st via Carpark Records.

Their sound definitely presents strongly of ‘80s indiepop but is never overwhelming. Across 10 cheery-sounding songs on the record, Ducks Ltd. “explore contemporary society in decline, examining large scale human disaster through personal turmoil (hence the title, taken from a university course called Gnosticism and Nihilism in Modern Fiction, influenced by Graham Greene novels).” Bookish indie fans this is the band for you, clearly!

I was immediately taken with the album’s first single 18 Cigarettes, so much so that I of course included it on my BFF.fm show and now anxiously look forward to hearing the full LP (and figuring out where all the ducks went, obvi).
