Ducktails

Real Estate part ways with Matt Mondanile

Matt Mondanile is no longer a member of Real Estate. The band in a statement said he is “focusing on his own Ducktails project.” Real Estate will continue their tour currently with new member and guitarist Julian Lynch. They also say that they will start to record the follow-up to their 2014 album Atlas after the tour. It is scheduled currently for release in early 2017. See their full statement and upcoming schedule below. Ducktails also has dates soon, the schedule is below.

A founding Real Estate member and guitarist, Mondanile was part of all of the band’s releases.

Real Estate’s statement:

Having previously announced a short run of shows in California and a show at Red Rocks Amphitheater with The National, Real Estate expand on this by adding two further California dates. This limited run of dates is a prelude to the recording of their next album, tentatively slated for early 2017.
These upcoming shows will be the first with new member and fellow scion of Ridgewood, NJ, guitarist Julian Lynch. Lynch takes the place vacated by the departing Matt Mondanile, who is focusing on his own Ducktails project, a musical endeavor that predates his involvement in Real Estate.
The band will commence recording their follow-up to Atlas this summer.
