It's a good album but it's not THAT good. I'm mystified by the hype.
>>131492410I came across it randomly on my Spotify recommended back in 2019 and liked it alot. Then a year later it blew up on Tiktok. I wonder if other Zoomers found out about them that way
Filtered. It's the greatest album of all time.
>>131492701It's just codeine but slightly faster and fuzzier
>>131492410Ps2 rock band guitar hero algorithm Although and this has to do with the video driver algorithm theory there is this like exhausted space age experimentation which to some degree is captured by OK just the use of the Futura font
>>131492410I think it’s quite tasteful. Where it lacks strong lyrics and singing, it makes up for it in composition. At worst it’s dull but what do you expect with those muted colors on the album cover?
>>131492410 I love it. It's one of the few albums with vocals that I like.
>>131492410It is that good and they deserved recognition. This group and album were essentially lost in total obscurity for years before online communities like /mu/ helped unearthed this gem. I've been listening to underground rock records my whole life and few are as sublime as dusters first couple of records
>>131492437>I wonder if other Zoomers found out about them that wayI was a teenager lurking /mu/ and found them through here. It was probably 2019 for me as well.
I first heard it when it started to get recognition on /mu/ around 2015. I was walking outside and I started crying during the middle instrumental part of Heading for the Door. I felt something was missing in indie rock, and it was exactly the music I wanted to make up until that point: the chords used, the mood, the tempo, everything. I got the same feeling with Reed to Hillsborough and The Twins / Romantica.I kinda gave up trying to compose songs around that time and now just noodle with my guitar and keys when I feel like playing, but this album got me through a rough patch in my twenties.I'm not a huge fan of Contemporary Movement though, I think the depressing vibe was overdone, except for the song Cooking. Capsule Losing Contact is also absolutely great, a resigned slow crawl. I don't listen to them anymore, but that's really the 5 songs from them that mean a lot to me.
>>131498003People were talking about duster on /mu/ before 2015, the archive has discussion as far back as 2012 but I want to say i remember people posting about it as far back as 2009
>>131492410it's overhyped if you consider how much great music goes without this much fanfare, but it's really good in conveying a very specific mood, so if you listen to it and want more like that nothing else can replace it, so it does deserve it
