About this item

Lightning Dust - the duo comprised of Amber Webber and Josh Wells (both of Black Mountain) - tend to thrive in the spirit of change.

2007’s self-titled debut was a hushed, intricate folk affair, while 2009’s ‘Infinite Light’ found a middle ground between Suicide and Fleetwood Mac-era pop. So when they geared up to make the music that would become ‘Fantasy’, the pair were looking for a new sonic stamp.

Lightning Dust’s third proper full length finds its inspiration in skeletal synth pop, modern R&B beats, the films of John Carpenter and - in accordance with Lightning Dust’s only longstanding rule - absolute minimalism.

Lightning Dust have delivered an album that informs their sound in remarkable new ways. ‘Fantasy’ is a hypnotic, exciting record, recklessly new without sacrificing the rich atmosphere that makes Lightning Dust who they are.

‘Loaded Gun’ is a robotic riot grrrl anthem, while ‘Agatha’ stands tall as an ominous lullaby. ‘Fire, Flesh And Bone’ recalls the best cinematic new wave ballads, while acoustic heartbreaker ‘Moon’ makes the rest of the world disappear.
