about

on its third album, "seeker's phantasm," ruddy duck take a darker and more synth-heavy turn. the album narrates a night's journey through a haunted forest, encountering fairies, witches, ghosts and other strange beings along the way. mood-wise, the album pulls inspiration from magic, the occult, harnessing darkness for good, the moon, a first time hearing kate bush’s “running up that hill,” renaissance festivals, hypnotism, tarot, classic ghost stories, high fantasy and the warped nostalgia of a childhood spent in the long shadow of the ‘80s satanic panic.
