Duster — Capsule Losing Contact

4xLP / Limited Edition Gold Dust color vinyl Box Set / Includes Stratosphere | Contemporary Movement | 1975 EP | A collection of singles, demos and other miscellaneous debris. / Pressed in 2019 / San Jose’s sonic cure-all for the Y2K hangover that
never materialized, Duster emerged from a cloud of
lonely bong rips to take indie rock to the moon, and
beyond. Scotch-taped guitars toggle between a chorus
of brittle winter trees and a blanket of distorted fuzz.
The low rumble of a cardboard box being kicked in a
dead mall keeps pace in the background, as muffled,
sung-spoken vocals ponder the great mysteries of
modern mundanity. Three years of home recording
accidents and blown-out 2AM studio experiments are
spread across four LPs or three CDs, gathering the
short-lived trio’s Stratosphere and Contemporary
Movement albums, 1975 EP, singles, demos, and
other miscellaneous debris into one escape pod, now
free to drift in the endless void of space.
