It turns out to be definitively clear that the reappearance of the Dusters after a little long silence was not yet another reunion commercial but rather a real restart, destined to last. To testify to this, the third album in five years arrives, which sanctions a more nourished production than that of the four -year debut, from which it continues to draw life without ever significantly discarding from the teacher road of that slowcore that have contributed to coding.
Consistent with this attitude “in Dreams”, it winds between ballads compared to the painful and large grain that intersects Space Rock and brush strokes Shoegaze, an incessant navigation in a sea of sweet and sour melodies. “Quiet Eyes” opens the dances giving vent to the soul more exquisitely dreamy by Clay Parton and Canaan where Amber, a cut that also invests the next “Aqua Tofana” before giving way guitars fuzzy of “No Feel”.
The album goes on without particular twists and turns, however supported by a writing almost always up to par and with some out of program partials – the instrumental pull of “Cosmotransporter”, the noise Diafano of “Poltergeist” – which mark the most interesting passages.
In addition to the implementation of the sound that made them a cult meteor at the time of “Stratosphere”, the Duster would serve greater courage in looking for a new way, capable of making it interesting as well as fully attractive – characteristic of which they do not lack today – a second Linding glimpse potentially still to be written.
