Description:
The return of Dusters catalog to print, plus their revival as a recording band, has been one of the most heartening things to happen in indie rock in maybe forever. Their hazily nonchalant mix of shoegaze, lo-fi, and driftcore struck a deep, resonant chord in listeners both old and new, making each release something to be celebrated and cherished. Numero Group has done their best to keep the tap flowing with reissues and new albums, and Remote Echoes is another installment of vintage Duster sounds culled from early, mid-90s demos. Many of the songs appeared on early cassette collections On the Dodge and Christmas Dust, but some have never been released previously at all. The bulk of the album consists of brief and hissy low-budget shoegaze and crooked indie rock excursions; its the sound of a band figuring out what they want to sound like and coming up with something pretty special. There isnt much of the space and magic of their actual albums here, though a couple of songs, like "Before the Veil" and "Untitled 59," do sound completely filled out and could have been on Stratosphere. Most of the rest of the songs have a more demo-like feel as the band experiment and explore. They try out melancholy bedroom ballads ("I Know I Wont"), sludgy slacker rock ("Moon in Aries"), yodeling, stoned country ("Country Heather"), and even some almost uptempo guitar rock on "Untitled 84," sounding young, high as hell, and irresistible to anyone who likes their music pocket-sized and unpolished. That being said, the band sound completely in control of their sound even in these early stages. They only slip up once, on the overly jokey "The Weed Supreme," which points down a drug-damaged, goofy path that the band could have taken if things had gone extremely wrong. Among the other, more enjoyable diversions are the twangy lo-fi gem "Darby," the rippling alt-rocker "Lost Time," or the drum machine-powered space funk of "Testphase." Its fascinating to hear these trips not taken any further, and when combined with the more Duster-ish tracks that make up the rest of Remote Echoes, it makes for a collection thats definitely worth hearing for Duster fans and lovers of oddball, home-cooked indie rock alike. The only complaint is that the collection is too short. One cant help but wish that Numero had taken a full leap into the vaults and done some kind of complete collection of demos and rarities instead. ~ Tim Sendra
