Release Notes:
Amber Webber and Joshua Wells have been playing
together for many years as part of Black Mountain.
They've toured the world and have played
impenetrable space-rock to the unlikeliest of
audiences. With an abundance of creative energy to
spare, the two decided to start a separate project
together, that they named Lightning Dust.
Committing themselves to a more simplistic approach
with Lightning Dust, Webber and Wells also decided
to escape the comforts of their familiar
instruments and writing styles. 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.
The album was recorded in a dank cave and a bright
blue house, perhaps an unconscious yet obsessive
protest of the sunny beach and beer world that
surrounded them on the outside. But despite this
unattractive external world, and while completing
the album in small fits of insanity, the two were
compelled to retreat to the coastal summer air from
time to time, when they could take no more of the
shadowy frame that they had decided to enclose
themselves in.
Many of the songs on this self-titled debut began
years ago as melodies which persistently floated
around in Webber's head. And, conveniently, Wells
was at a loss for words to accompany the piano
songs that wouldn't leave him alone. Their creation
Lightning Dust matched these lingering ghosts with
each other, creating a special, lasting work that
perfectly brings together the shadows with the
sunshine.
