Duster - 1975 (1999)

Just about 24 minutes of sublime, dreamily stoned, instantly nostalgic slowcore by the waaay too short-lived Duster. Woozy guitars chime, gauzy keyboards shimmer, and a vocalist casually whisper-sings about existential crises. Bought this record for two bucks about 10 years back at the record store where I now work, only to find out later that it sells online for a couple hundo. Man, those cranky-ass hipsters at [store name omitted] don't know shit about dick.

Track listing:
1. Irato
2. Memphis Sophisticate
3. The Motion Picture
4. And Things (Are Mostly Ghosts)
5. August Relativity
6. Want No Light to Shine

You're not the first to set foot here
Just another
And I know you're terrified
Like the rest of us

Duster - Stratosphere (1998)


A homemade-sounding classic of dreamy, druggy slowcore. Warm, analogue sound, disconnected vocals, and clean, loose guitar interplay are what make this record great. Also, listen for the fuzzy, blissed-out space rock centerpiece, "Echo, Bravo" -- that's my JAM.

Track listing:
1. Moon Age
2. Heading for the Door
3. Gold Dust
4. Topical Solution
5. Docking the Pod
6. The Landing
7. Echo, Bravo
8. Constellations
9. The Queen of Hearts
10. Two Way Radio
11. Inside Out
12. Stratosphere
13. Reed to Hillsborough
14. Shadows of Planes
15. Earth Moon Transit
16. The Twins/Romantica
17. Sideria
