Description
Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster’s 1998’s debut, ‘Stratosphere’, simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbours and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to ‘rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.’ “Music for dark spaces and closed eyelids, deeply psychedelic but without sprawl, ambient music with a serrated edge of punk.” – The Ringer
Available for National Album Day on Clear + Black Splatter vinyl.
