NEW YORK— Indie-pop band Ducks Ltd. released a cover of The Go-Betweens’ “Easy Come, Easy Go.” The track featured Martin Courtney of Real Estate. The cover garnered unexpected attention. Local ducks offered praise. They reviewed the song from a nearby pond.
Avian Appreciation
The ducks held a press conference. A spokesperson, Bartholomew Quackenbush, spoke for the group. “The jangling was exceptional,” Quackenbush stated. He is the self-appointed Head of Pond Harmony. “It really captured the essence of a gentle breeze. It felt like home.” The Ducks Ltd. cover was a complex, nuanced piece. It was also simple. It was easy come, easy go. The song truly connected with the avian community. They had never heard anything like it. The ducks also commented on the vocal performance. They found it passable. “A bit too much squawking,” one duck was heard to mutter. The band’s name, Ducks Ltd., clearly resonated.
Critiques and Compliments
Another duck, Penelope Paddlefoot, shared her thoughts. She is the Chief Financial Officer of the Pond Collective. “I’m not sure about the ‘easy come, easy go’ part,” she quacked. “My bread is always easy come. It is also very easy go. I do not see the struggle.” Paddlefoot suggested alternative lyrics. She proposed “Easy float, easy dive.” This would be more relatable. Ducks Ltd. has not yet responded to the duck community. The band is currently touring. Martin Courtney also declined comment. He was busy feeding his own ducks. The band is known for its jangling sound. Their original music also features this. The Go-Betweens also had a jangling sound. This cover is a tribute to that tradition. Stereogum first reported on the cover. You can read their review here. The release also featured Grant McLellan. He produced the track. Ducks Ltd. aims for this sound. The band wants to connect with fans. This includes all types of fans. Even the feathered ones.
At press time, the band announced a new song. It is called “Quacktastic.” Ducks Ltd. denied any connection to waterfowl. They called it a coincidence.
