>tfw you spin up Duster for the first time in three years

lo-fi Doobie Brothers

Does anyone else fucking love the s/t track?

It's such a hidden gem. What an amazing intermission in the album, probably my favorite track.

Gold Dust by faaar

If you have the vinyl, you're a fuckboy.

>>70283977
Echo, Bravo is absolutely incredible once the guitars just come in and feel so crushing and beautiful

The general feel and cadence of the album is just so soooft. I love it. The production is low-fi and makes everything just fuzzy and warm. The lyrics are unassuming but cozy. And some of the songs are pretty melancholy and moody. It's just my go-to winding-down chill out album.

>>70284371
Gold Dust was what hooked me into the album.

Oddly, after years I think it's one of the weakest tracks.
So many meticulous bits in the album of warmth, gold dust just seems a tad shallow and less fun than the other tracks.

Still great, but no The Twins / Romantica.

>when the vocals for Earth Moon Transit come on

>AND CIGARETTES ARE FINEEEE

You will never get me to listen to this

>>70284419
Agreed.

This is one of those albums you can tell they give no fucks about money or fame or whatever. It's just so unique and feels so intimate. It oozes that cozy and hazy atmosphere and is surprisingly consistent.

I'll probably go my entire life without anyone knowing the album which is so fucking weird to me. Feels criminally underrated and exclusive to the dark corners of music forums.

Wish I could have a convo with the artists and let them know how beautiful it is. I feel bad for them.

Aren't they coming back soon?

best track is Inside Out btw

>>70284813
What the fuck? Are you trolling?

Post some evidence for christ sake anon.

DESU, i'm not hopeful. It will be another mbv I bet, just inherent to that type of sound.

Why is Sideria such a disappointing closer?

It was perfect as is. Why end so lukewarm after an amazing potential closer track.

Plz don't forget that this album, as well as the rest of their discography, is just as consistently good

>>70285383
Travelogue and Cooking are IMO their best tracks ever. If only the rest of that album was as good, I don't think it's anywhere near as consistent as Stratosphere but I wish I was wrong.

Those vocals on Travelogue though, holy fuck I remember when I first heard it I couldn't believe how unique that track is. It's really something else.

I haven't even tried acid before. I'm 25 and married with a house and a full time job. I don't have time for childish things like that. However I do have a little soared time to fuck with butthurt kids on mu. I guess that doesn't make me much better though.

>>70287500
>I haven't even tried acid before.
Do you know how retarded you make yourself sound?

Maybe you should stick to shitposting on 4chan pretending to have a shred of clue.
I have no qualms with shitposting, but coming from a 25 year old adult? Maybe you should put yourself in perspective. A job, a house, these are considered the minimum needs for a functioning human. You're embarrassing yourself.

>childish
Because successful people don't do drugs right? Fuck off clueless retard.

What drugs were used in producing this album?

No way was it sober, or can people pull this kind of shit off with a clear head?

>>70288557
weed is implied. I'm thinking some benzos and opiates thrown on top.

>when constellations comes on after echo bravo

Such fluid chaos, into a calming blanket of melody. The tracks fit together like a fucking jigsaw puzzle.

Stratosphere is a 10/10 no doubt. Contemporary Movement is also a 10/10, it just takes longer to grow on your.

Best track is Echo, Brave imo.

Shilling a video I made using 'Shadows of Planes' that I think is cozy as fuck.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BFlY2uKwgCZ/

>>70284588
o-okay?

>>70288663
I actually liked the video for the most part, fits well will the atmosphere in the song. The beginning was a bit underwhelming though, didn't fit.

I'd encourage anyone to shill duster because they deserve it (imo).
I wonder what normies would think of this kind of stuff. Would they like it?

>>70288663

Agreed, Contemporary Movement doesn't get enough love. I reckon Transmission/Flux is a 10/10 EP too

This album man. I'd heard it like 2 or 3 times and thought it was pretty good but it didn't really stick with me. Then one day I put it on at random, wasn't even paying attention to it and it just grabbed me out of nowhere. Was at full attention for the whole thing and ever since then I have loved it. Fucking fantastic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLKhBRluHio
My favourite track.

Only discovered this because of a comfy cozy thread I made a while back. Where the fuck can I get the CD at a reasonable price? They need to do a reissue fuck sake

I've always fucking really loved Docking the Pod for some reason, it's a fairly standard track but that section in the middle is just so fucking soothing, whenever I hear it for those few seconds I'm instantly at peace.

>>70283977
I tried to get into this album multiple times but it just sounds boring to me, it's slow (that's not neccessarily bad) but there's also no interesting sonic textures and it's the same thing just repeated until the songs end. I really don't understand what's good about it...

>>70289140
Took me a while personally.

One day that shit just resonated me. It just flows so well and the majority of tracks are way above any kind of similar spacey rock.
Maybe not for everyone? The album has an interesting variety, try Stratosphere if you like that droning type of sound or Earth Moon Transit if you like it a bit more energetic. Echo bravo, too of course.

Definitely not for everyone, that's obvious. Give it a few more goes i'm sure you'll dig it.

Duster is the type of music I've always wanted to make but never understood that to be the case until I heard it.

Too bad I have no musical talent. I tried guitar and gave up after maybe two weeks.

>>70288421
>Wow a plastic bag so beautiful
A record for stoned narcissistic teenagers who perpetuate some image of underground melancholia and browse the internet 24/7. It's ambient in the worst possible way, the songwriting is non-existent and the sequencing is trash. Let's talk about Love, Claire and Bluetile Lounge instead.

>>70289556
>no, what you don't have is discipline
Not inaccurate in this context

I'm a software dev, the problem is that the discipline to program and design GOOD software is crazy complicated. Non-stop marathons of intense thinking. I'd want nothing more to sit care-free plucking away learning the guitar but the opportunity cost is nonexistent anon. I'm not a superhero, just another anon.

You can say the same drivel for any kind of music, you seem to get a tad angrier than the usual contrarian though.

>stoned narcissistic teenagers
Maybe stoned like any type of ambient influenced rock, but narcissistic? Have you even listen to the album?
The entire album seems to be about escaping reality, not loving the person you are. Literally the opposite.

I should use more buzzwords to be convincing, I can't wait to show other 4channers my superior intellect.

>>70289629
He shouted out "Claire" so I think he's a grimsfag, don't worry about it

>>70283977
It's a beautiful album. I really like Shadows of Planes even though it's so short.
>>70285383
Contemporary Movement is less consistent but has Everything You See (Is Your Own), which is my personal favorite song of theirs.

>>70289629
>>70289568
I love Slowcore and I hate this boring poseur-core being posted all the time. Love Claire is a fantastic band btw, check it out for something better.

>>70289764
I'll check out the band, downloading some right now.

But what the fuck is "Poseur-core"
Duster seems to give zero fucks from what i've seen. All they really have is a recent cult following that barely knows anything about the actual people involved.

Does this board totally ignore when albums are released? I just realized some kids here might have been born after this fucking album, sweet jesus.

Duster seems so distant and unique to me (especially for the time they were in), where the fuck does poseur come in? I honestly don't get it so feel free to explain.

>>70286098

i think thats just a rogue contrarian

>>70289799
It's not about the band, they seem like some alright guys but the record is just not as special as /mu/ pretends right now. It got popular around here because one tripfag spammed it all the time and people lapped it up.

>>70287969
Sure thing duuuuude. Keep trippin man

>>70289841
That's unfair, I found it because Spotify recommended it to me before I even came here and I think it's a legitimately great album. It's fine for you to dislike it but you don't need to rationalise everyone else's opinion of it as them just trying to be part of the herd.

>>70289841
What does their popularity have to do with anything?
Their popularity outside a few music forums is just about non-fucking-existent. I'm not sure what to say to this other than some people spend way too much time non-ironically internalizing /mu/ ideals.

I can understand why some may think it's not special but no album will have a perfect consensus. I almost certainly dislike albums you find masterpieces, this isn't uncommon at all and natural with sample size so I don't see the point here in the slightest.

Which tripfag, do you remember? As far as spacey-rock and lo-fi genres go, it's definitely known to be one of the greats in a relatively small genre.

Fucking weird to me that people think their idea of special is the sole one. Why? Is this board just teenagers?
Can you understand why some may enjoy it a lot? I think about this all the time when I come across an album I dislike.
I can see why others like it, I just acknowledge it doesn't hit that sweet spot. Same thing with food and having different palettes .

After an hour on here, I start to remember why I stopped coming here. Most discussions are so empty. Just shitposting albums people like, I guess not too different from before.

Wtf I love Bluetile Lounge and Love, Claire and Duster. Not all music has to be the most crushing and depressing experience of all time, sometimes a gentle melancholy is better and that's what Duster are. I'll agree to Duster being a tad overrated and LC and Bluetile being underrated though.

>>70290269
Nothing to argue, I've grown up in a family who treats this exact problem everyday. I don't give a shit if you believe me. Nor do I care to prove it.

Again nothing to argue here, nothing subjective in this "argument".

i never understood this i mean, i get that some people call this space rock but other than a few of the songs having outer space related titles, most of the lyrical content (that can be made out) is about drugs or a house or the sky etc.

whenever people talk about how this album makes them think about space i always immediately think of inside out, which is clearly just a song about liking a gril but you're too pussy beta to talk to her

no i was completely sober but i had smoked weed and drunk a lot of alcohol the night before.

the fact that i was sober made it more magical to me.

>>70293895
I bought all of these records about 4 years ago before their indie cred really exploded.

$50 for Stratosphere
$70 for Contemporary Movement
$25 for 1975
$40 for both Transmission Flux and Apex Trance Like

More recently I picked up the Valium Aggelein album in a generic sleeve and that was the most expensive at $80

Red House Painters - Rollercoaster
Early Day Miners - Let Us Garlands Bring
Low - I Could Live in Hope

i'm still not over travelogue, it's probably been 7 years since i heard it for the first time and it blows me away every time. it's so spacey but so vivid and just incredible. it's nice to see that someone else loves it just as much.
but i'd argue that contemporary movement is a much more consistent album. stratosphere is too ambitious for it's own good and CM seems so much more down to earth and honest to me. i dunno. stratosphere is still great though.

I'm honestly kind of pissed now, they are still fucking amazing but they are becoming so much bigger, which would obviously be fine except it's with almost exclusively music fanboys. That said though the fact that this album has the ability to pull this much attention and love is novel.

Also just for anyone wondering, at least Jason Albertini wishes Duster didn't stop when they did.

Does anyone know why they stopped?

Rumors are that they have new material coming out.

They would never do this had it not been for the relatively recent surge in popularly and cult-like status.

If slowdive can still make good tracks, I have some optimism for duster's future if they have one.
