Ducats

Former Chicagoan Trent Holton invades Jacksonville’s airspace with Glob, a new seven-song collection of DIY post-punk racket from his one-man garage ensemble Ducats. The record’s lead single “Stir Stick” throbs over a primal beat, with ad-hoc melodic riffs plunked out on relatively-tuned guitars, laying the groundwork for Holton’s droning, minimalist sloganeering. Ducats’ primitive wash is a welcome, Back-From-The Grave-harkening addition to a Jacksonville music scene that seems to be attracting an increasing number of talented and innovative transplants. -Matthew Shaw (Jacksonville Music Experience 2022)
