Landscapes is the second studio album by the American recording act Ducktails, released on August 6, 2009 on Olde English Spelling Bee.
Regarding the album's artwork, Mondanile noted: "[It has] this purple palm tree imagery, kind of two images, it’s kind of just like: each of my record covers I want to be pop art that goes along with the record.
"[1] Fact Magazine characterized Landscapes as a series of "soft-focus aural polaroids," calling it "a breathtakingly pretty album" whose "sense of place is open and plural: it can conjure or complement whatever landscape you will it to, from a verdant forest to a sun-scorched desert; from an overcrowded city to an empty beach.
"[2] In a positive review for Pitchfork, David Bevan praised Matt Mondanile's layered recording techniques, writing: "Landscapes is rarely anything but engaging.
"Wishes" in particular is a slacker standout more harmonically rich, more sweetly and appropriately lonesome than anything else here.
