Stratosphere - 25th Anniversary Edition [CD]

Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster 1998s debut Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core first wave. A four track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.”
