Big DuckBig DuckGenre: PopDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS From the offices I'm leasing on NW Third and Glisan a polka-dotted Datsun's broken-down. The offices are bar stools at a bygone Old Town tavern. The Datsun is youth recklessness lust for life-traits that make an idealized overly romantic version of love so desirable and also attributes that sans brakes make deep connection so frustratingly unattainable. Such is a typical quip from the diverse uproarious full-length debut album by Portland's Big Duck. The 10-song collection draws comfortably from post-punk blue-eyed soul chicken-pickin' country and anthemic rock and exhibits a skilled but shambolic sound honed via 8 years of high-energy live shows. Featuring Dylan Esmonde Robbie Aldworth Chris Fanshier and Jay Boss Rubin Big Duck is a bonafide original homegrown in Rose City.
