Swinging Jaw: Ducktails
Sun jammer extraordinaire Matthew Mondanile glides solo as Ducktails and with a pack of childhood friends in the more song-bound efforts of Real Estate. He’s not from the beach but his songs are about the beach. He told us about his love for the beach, staring out the window and Pacific City.

Swinging Jaw: Old Blood
Writing songs with Jael is easy because I tell her what to do and she does it. She isn’t a musician, she’s a photographer, but she loves music so it works. She is like a drum machine and I like that quality. Too many times drummers want to add and add and add until it’s one long drum solo. I hate that. That’s why I will take my sister over some douche bag kid who played jazz drums for seven years with Miles fucking Davis. I don’t give a shit. Drums should be pulsy and thriving, kinda like a heart beating over and over. We love that rhythm and it never changes because if it did, we would die. And that’s how I look at rhythm, and Jael gets it.

Swinging Jaw: Zola Jesus
Zola Jesus is mainly Nika from Wisconsin, though she has friends called Lindsay, Max Elliott and Dead Luke who help her play live. She studied opera for ten years and takes just as much inspiration from no-wave. She bridges the gap between those two distant pillars with tendencies toward the epic and Jefferson Airplane covers, all painted with the DIY glamour of U.S. Girls and Nite Jewel and a hopelessness that bit prettier than SALEM’s.
