Putting the ‘Cor!’ in slowcore, Duster’s exhilarating 5th album snuck up on us unawares in a cloud of flourishing drones, restrained rhythms, and those trademark vocals that just seem to ooze out of the speakers. Half asleep you hear a guitar echo through the early morning haze, you’re so zonked you cant tell if its a dream or if the droney reverb is coming from real life, you sit up, now starting to understand what is afoot. Thats right, its the errant kings of slowcore Duster returning with yet another surprise release – “In Dreams“. Disintegrated, half remembered melodies permeate this record like a slow tide of static soaking into a discarded slice of sponge cake, proving somehow inventive and nostalgic at the same time, in other words Duster on top form.
The San Jose slowcore/space rock outfit returns with surprise album, “In Dreams”, continuing their inclination of sonically capturing an open-ended question. These thirteen tracks hone in on their trademark dark, droning guitar tones, dialed back percussion, and alluring hard-panned vocals while expanding and exploring synth-heavy and drum machine avenues. It’s the fifth Duster album, ok
