Description
Lightning Dust the duo comprised of Amber Webber and Josh Wells (both of Black Mountain) tend to thrive in the spirit of change.
2007s self-titled debut was a hushed, intricate folk affair, while 2009s Infinite Light found a middle ground between Suicide and Fleetwood Mac-era pop. So when they geared up to make the music that would become Fantasy, the pair were looking for a new sonic stamp.
Lightning Dusts third proper full length finds its inspiration in skeletal synth pop, modern R&B beats, the films of John Carpenter and in accordance with Lightning Dusts only longstanding rule absolute minimalism.
Lightning Dust have delivered an album that informs their sound in remarkable new ways. Fantasy is a hypnotic, exciting record, recklessly new without sacrificing the rich atmosphere that makes Lightning Dust who they are.
Loaded Gun is a robotic riot grrrl anthem, while Agatha stands tall as an ominous lullaby. Fire, Flesh And Bone recalls the best cinematic new wave ballads, while acoustic heartbreaker Moon makes the rest of the world disappear.
