San Francisco-born singer Morgan Neiman records as Ducky, a beat-savvy veteran of the New York City club crawl. Latest single, “Air (Day Version),” due for release later this year, blends crisp handclaps and four-on-the-floor pulse with a warm, two-drinks-in bass line. The synthy tune throbs like a banger but stings like a bruiser. Note the opening lines’ hangover-in-the-making: “We’d watch the East River get all lit up / Like us / Oh yes / It felt so glamorous / to know that our blood was toxic.”
