Rancid Poets Official

Tony Duncan hails from Tyler, Texas, where he records under the moniker Rancid Poets, crafting hazy, retro lo-fi soundscapes charged with raw emotion and exploratory textures. Drawing inspiration from the cosmic sweep of Pink Floyd to the warped nostalgia of Boards of Canada, his music drifts through themes of retro-futurism, isolation, and quiet resilience. The result is a deeply immersive world—melancholic yet hopeful—that blurs the line between the intimate and the abstract. Rancid Poets was featured on Electronic Cafe’s YouTube channel Top 30 Albums of 2023, marking a standout moment in his evolving sonic journey.
