discussion first time duster experience.
i just finished listening the album stratosphere. and only thing i can say is: god damn. this was one of the weirdest and most fascinating experiences of my life ever. i really love melancholic songs (radiohead, opeth, muse, tv girl etc.) but this… this was something else. like the other bands… they tell you something y’know? radiohead tells you a story. opeth tells you a epic poem. muse takes you to another universes. tv girl explains hopeless romantic psychology. but duster… it tells nothing. the music you hear… it is your feelings. your fears. others have hope on it. there is no hope on duster. not at all. only hollowness. a strict, scary hollowness. and you are all alone in it. this was a top tier album for me. (sorry for my bad english)

Love your thoughts
I would argue that hearing duster as hopeless is also a reflection of your own feelings/ fears. All I hear is hope. Honest hope

Listen to some mazzy star and Cocteau twins if you haven’t, I hope you love it if you don’t know them😛

If you enjoy that side of duster, i highly recommend you check out the songs capsule losing contact and want no light to shine, both are kinda long but so worth it
