St. Catherine (album)

St. Catherine is the fifth studio album by the American indie rock act Ducktails, released on July 24, 2015 on Domino. Co-produced by primary recording artist Matt Mondanile and Rob Schnapf, the album features contributions from Julia Holter and her bandmates, Chris Votek and Andrew Tholl.

Influenced by Mondanile's decision to move from Brooklyn, New York to Los Angeles, California, St. Catherine features more personal lyrical content than previous Ducktails releases.

Background and recording

The album was recorded between October 2013 and January 2015 in three cities; Los Angeles, Berlin and New York City, with primary recording artist Matt Mondanile noting: "It’s the longest I’ve spent on a record, and I moved to LA when I started it. I started demoing in 2013 in the fall, and then Real Estate’s record came out in March of 2014, so I started touring a lot and would work on it slowly over time. I was traveling a lot, and I’d just moved here, and I was taking my time with it and listening to a lot of the demos."
