Increasingly popular indie rock duo Ducks Ltd. will set out on a months-long tour of North America and the U.K. starting next Wednesday in their official homebase of Toronto.
Band members Tom McGreevy (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards) and Evan Lewis (guitar, bass, drum programming) possess a boundless love for 1980s jangle-pop. They put their own spin on the post-punk era via Ducks Ltd.’s debut album, Modern Fiction.
The duo is heavily influenced by overseas and North American 80s post-punk and indie pop bands like Close Lobsters, Felt, Orange Juice, McCarthy, the Clean, the Bats, the Feelies, and The Go-Betweensetc.
Ducks Ltd. stitches together layers of intricate melodies and lively, nostalgic pop/rock elements to create an irresistible combination of energy, bliss and introspection.
The duo built a reputation in the Toronto scene sharing the stage with bands like Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Weyes Blood, The Goon Sax, Juan Wauters, and Yowler. Their DIY debut EP, Get Bleak, dropped in November of 2019.
Get Bleak was widely praised by the press and blogosphere. Pitchfork wrote: “Ducks Ltd. understand that dancing through misery is healthier than dancing around it. Their brand of lilting, throwback jangle-pop makes that seem like the easiest thing in the world to do.”
In 2020, Ducks Ltd. signed to Carpark Records & Royal Mountain Records
As one of our favorite releases of 2021, Modern Fiction, keeps ringing into the new year.
