]]> While this album is not very new and has been relatively well reported, it’s one of my favourites this year and hasn’t had a mention from us yet so I thought I’d include it here. Holy Fuck’s Brian Borcherdt teamed up with producer Leon Taheny to produce Dusted. Their album, Total Dust, released on Hand Drawn Dracula and Polyvinyl, is an interesting collision of his solo work and Holy Fuck’s eye for soundscapes. The sound here is fuzzy rock rather than Holy Fuck’s electronics and the lo-fi atmospheric creates a sense of dreamy fantasy. The sound is spacious and hazy, the are lyrics fragmented but the vocals are clear enough to keep the main themes rooted in reality, making the songs seem like the strange dreams of a normal man rather than some bizarre abstractions that are crazy for the sake of being crazy. A clever and well accomplished album.
