APRIL 24th – Ascendant Australian post-punk outfit dust have returned with their first treat of new music in a year, new single ‘TRUST U SEE’ – ahead of an arena tour in support of Interpol in October & November.
In the year since their debut EP dust have worked to valiantly graduate from in demand support act into a seasoned live outfit. Appearances at The Great Escape, BIGSOUND, SXSW (Sydney and Austin) alongside multi-date tours supporting Interpol and Bloc Party nationally to Hockey Dad across the UK. Today’s release ‘TRUST U SEE’ is the clearest example of dust’s live show prowess. A set staple that converts first time audience members to buzz-wielding adherents, leaving dust on the cusp of everyone’s lips come performance end. Arriving with video by Nicola Jankovic, ‘TRUST U SEE’ buoys with the driving punk that’s seen the group continue to rise, with ebb and flow steered by dust’s emblematic saxophone.
‘TRUST U SEE’, in their own words, is an “alarming and visceral sonic exploration of both literal and underlying feelings. Justin’s literal lyrical recount of searching for pain relief and feeling frustrated is paralleled with metaphorical messages of trust, relationships and frustration. TRUST U SEE became a staple opening song in the live set, forming it organically into the final version of the song before taking it to the studio. We were able to have a new outlook on recording and experimentation. It was our first time recording properly in a studio and we were able to be very hands on and take time in post production to get the song to express what we wanted.”
The group prepare for a hefty string of dates returning to support Interpol across the UK and Europe joined by Iceage. More locally, dust will join Armlock at their upcoming Naarm / Melbourne appearance in May. With hometown shows that assert their position as “the stars of the night,” (Beat Magazine), where the wind will blow dust in 2024 is guaranteed to be both seen and heard.
‘TRUST U SEE’ is out now and was mastered by Barry Grint (King Krule, Kamasi Washington, R.E.M).
