DUSTER - Remote Echoes LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition clear vinyl with sea blue and ruby splatter.

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.

Sad to see a lot of these didn’t get finished, get a full mixing treatment, and added on an album. A lot of tracks on here had potential to become duster favorites if they had been released as more than demos, and they sound like a good combination of older duster and their recent output. Very glad they released regardless and it helps that slow core is already a pretty lofi genre.
