Dust, Etc.

Dust From 1000 Yrs is releasing Spring on 9/9. This marks his first release in two years, and his first musical output since relocating to Boston. The new record is an intimate and stark collection of songs recorded via 4 track. Dust Etc. and Art of the Uncarved Block are teaming up on this release for the US and Canada respectively. Impose Magazine is streaming the album in full today. Preorders are available here!

“Described as “a document of all the alienation, confusion, depression, and anger that comes from a big baby breaking out of his shell in a completely new and unknown environment“, the new record is introduced via the weird-but-wonderful slow-crawl of ‘someday’ – itself presented as an affective, annotated video piece. Making on good on those aforementioned influences, the song itself is strikingly poignant, sounding something like a crack of light in the most enveloping darkness. ”

- Tom Johnson, Gold Flake Paint 

Space Mountain has announced his new album Big Sky, which will be out 8/26 on Dust Etc. The album was once again recorded at Cole’s home in Boston, and mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago. The beautiful album artwork is by Heather Goodwind of Portland, OR. Stereogum has shared the album’s first single "Never Lonely", which you can stream below. Ava Trilling of Forth Wanderers takes lead vocals on this track. Preorders are available here!

“Never before has Space Mountain sounded as expansive or as thoughtful, a mixture that pays massive dividends. By finding a way to bridge both the carefree, open-road atmosphere that permeates throughout some of the most timeless folk records and the dynamics that typically characterize a roster like Exploding In Sound’s, “Never Lonely” creates something that feels refreshing in its modernity while digging its heels deep into the past.”

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be releasing Flout’s Norman Doors on July 22, 2016. Tapes are available here! Flout is the project of John DeRosso of Warwick, NY. Created only with instruments at hand, and (amazingly) recorded on his iPhone 6, Norman Doors is a beautiful collection of intimate rock songs. For fans of Guided By Voices, Alex G, Elliott Smith.

Norman Doors by flout

“A Norman Door is a term given to a poorly designed door that leaves you standing in front of it wondering whether to push or pull it open. It’s an apt metaphor for times in our lives and the songs on Norman Doors give off the vibe that they’re about those very moments. Songs that are perfect for those summer afternoons spent wondering what to do once fall comes. The soundtrack to sitting out on the porch, daydreaming with headphones on and enjoying the sun.”

DUST 002 is WRONGGG by Harmoos. Tapes are available here! Orders will ship on or around January 29th, 2016. Hailing from Boston, Harmoos is the project of Will Henriksen, Olivia Close and Jeff Balter. WRONGGG was originally released on August 14th of 2015, and Dust Etc. is very excited to announce this limited edition cassette reissue. It's a beautiful and earnest album of rock & roll. 

WRONGGG by Harmoos

“One of the attributes of this album that makes it such a treasure is its versatility. It’s an album for a sunny day, an album for when the shit hits the fan, an album to listen alone through headphones, an album to crowd surf to (boy would I enjoy that).”

Our first release is Gargantua by Space Mountain. You can pick up a limited edition tape here!

“The influence of this community, especially that of LVL UP and its affiliated projects, shines brightly on Gargantua, but Kinsler's songwriting is not content to simply stand in the collective shadow of his favorite bands. Indeed, Gargantua showcases winning songcraft, layering gritty guitar chords over sturdy, un-fussy rhythm playing while Kinsler dispenses observations via terrifically understated vocals.”
