Duck Sauce | Soundcloud | Buy QUACK

To say Duck Sauce’s debut album was “highly anticipated” would be a severe understatement. Anyone that had their records in steady rotation since aNYway, You’re Nasty, and even the heyday of Barbra Streisand knows that we were practically begging for them to release an album of funky, sample-based disco since 2011. Well, this past Tuesday, they finally satisfied our salivating taste buds and exceeded well beyond all the hype.

The album is the epitome of everything that is Duck Sauce. Random, hilarious samples and skits, articulate DJ cuts from A-Trak, rhythmic and bouncy bass, quacks, duck puns…the list goes on. Aside from the singles released over the years, the standout track for me was “Everyone ft. Teddy Toothpick,” which just so happens to be an alias for Dave 1 of Chromeo, A-Trak’s brother. Not only is it cool to see A-Trak and his brother working together, there couldn’t be a better fit. The track grooves on into what sounds like Danny Brown looking for a less than favorable booty call at the end. Just a text book track from these disco legends. It’s nice to comfortably bask in something you had such high hopes for. Enjoy and buy the album here.
