Duster - Travelogue

Duster is a lo-fi slowcore band which first consisted of Clay Parton and Dove Amber. Jason Albertini joined the band when the recording of Stratosphere was almost complete. Most of the bands' material, including the Stratosphere (1998), 1975 (1999), and Contemporary Movement (2000), have been released on Up Records.

In 1998, shortly after the release of Stratosphere, the band released a 7" titled 'Apex, Trance-Like' on SLR, a small label based out of Miami, Florida at the time. The 7" featured 2 unreleased tracks, 'Four Hours' and 'Light Years'.

Track 5 from Contemporary Movement, released on Up Records, 2000

this song feels like a return train journey. maybe you've been to see old friends, or experienced some major life event far away from home. it always seems to be sunny on a return journey? maybe that's just me. all the passengers, yourself included, with pensive searching thoughts drawn on their faces. the amber light and the long shadows passing rhythmically through the passenger car. it facilitates thought. i never feel like the same person on the journey home; like i've gone through a right of passage.

Not only great music, but consistently great album art.

the end of this song hits me so hard every time.

[JaimeBond]

The ending is like a plane taking off and rising above the clouds as everything fades away

[luz]

go forth
sorting dreams of truth
friends, should I, or should I not?
scheme forward on this beaten path

sit and play
framing days
thoughts and games
slipping through the ranks
with a long cold look

[Starving_Whispers]

This song is probably the most boring song on the album. I mean, I love the album(my favorite songs are me and the birds, the phantom facing me, and now it’s coming back) but I usually skip this song.
