The Flower Lane

The Flower Lane is the fourth studio album by the American indie rock project Ducktails, released on January 28, 2013 on Domino.

Co-produced by Matt Mondanile and Al Carlson, The Flower Lane was the first Ducktails album to be recorded in a full studio environment.

The album's overall aesthetic resembles a full band recording, and features contributions from Big Troubles, Joel Ford, Daniel Lopatin, Sam Mehran, Martin Courtney and Madeline Follin.

"[1] Unlike Mondanile's previous Ducktails releases, the album featured collaborations from other artists: "People would just walk into the studio and see how they could change the record.

I’d spent so much time recording by myself, so I thought this would be something different.”[1] In a mostly positive for Pitchfork, Steven Hyden praised the album's production and collaborative nature the recording process: "The Flower Lane is the latest progression for what now resembles a fully fledged group.
