Lightning Dust - Nostalgia Killer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On Spectre, their 4th album as Lightning Dust, Amber Webber and Josh Wells embrace as their sole-focus what was once a side-project, thus crafting their most refined and powerful album to date. After co-founding and touring with Black Mountain for over a decade, the duo departed from the band to further their own longterm creative partnership. Lightning Dust has evolved noticeably with each , from the spare, dark folk of their self-titled debut, to the synth and drum machine-heavy 2013 album Fantasy. However, the through-line of their discography has been Wells' deft production tailored perfectly around Webber's modestly iconic voice which stirred Pitchfork write of their 2009 LP Infinite Light that Webber's was Inchone of the fiercest, most stirring vocal performances of any this year.Inch In this sense the tracks on Spectre echo the spirits of quintessential rock vocalists like Grace Slick and Beth Gibbons, throughout a collection of songs that range from expertly sculpted folk-rock ear candy, to sparse Judee Sill-esque ballads consisting of little more than piano and voice. Written during the devastating forest fires that filled her hometown of Vancouver with smoke and a sense of apocalyptic doom, album opener InchDevoted ToInch captures Webber's resilience and determination to reestablish her creative independence as she sings InchI will find my way back in even if I never sleep... Gotta find my way back in, it's all that I believe.Inch Propulsive rocker InchRun AwayInch is an observation of the human need for change. Amber explains, InchIt was written in response to friends leaving their soul crushing jobs. I wanted to write a song that flip-flopped between the glorious freedom they felt upon leaving, and moments of despair that came afterward.Inch Shining an optimistic light on her departure from Black Mountain on the anthemic InchWhen It RainsInch Webber sin

This duo has been playing together for many years as part of Black Mountain. With an abundance of creative energy to spare, they decided to start this separate project. On their self-titled debut, minimal and spacious arrangements and a moody, theatrical vocal style aptly expose the demons, creating songs that creep into your bones with a haunting chill.
