Culled from half a decade of home four-tracking, “Remote Echoes” is a hissy, crumbly, and ungrounded expression of Clay Parton and Canaan Amber’s ongoing Duster project. A mix of cassette only demos released under the banners Christmas Dust and On The Dodge, this 14 track album also includes a bevy of previously unissued stragglers. Duster’s unique blend of fuzzy guitars, bargain synths, muffled percussion, and hushed vocals anticipated chillwave, mumblecore, and corecore, elegantly illustrating the holy trinity of slacker vices: cigarettes, coffee, and the weed supreme.
“Remote Echoes” by Duster presents a hissy, crumbly, and ungrounded manifestation of Clay Parton and Canaan Amber’s (and previously Jason Albertini) continuous Duster project comprising cassette-only demos which were never formally released, this 14-track album also incorporates numerous previously unreleased additions. Duster’s distinctive fusion of fuzzy guitars, budget synths, subdued percussion, and muted vocals encapsulating the trifecta of slacker indulgences.
This is a compilation of obscurities from Slow Core band, Duster. That is to say, alternate takes and demos. There are very few bands that could claim to have inspired a music genre. The picture chosen for this fine collection pretty much sums up the spacey, ethereal undertones of their music. Lights on in an abandoned, wrecked plane.
