Label: Numero Reissued 10/6/2023, Originally released 1998 Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster's 1998's debut Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core's first wave. A four track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to "rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out." This foil stamped and numbered 25th anniversary edition comes with a lyric sheet and poster. "Music for dark spaces and closed eyelids, deeply psychedelic but without sprawl, ambient music with a serrated edge of punk."-The Ringer "Warm, fuzzed-out sounds that hit home like a tight, melancholic embrace from your favorite person."-Vice Track listing: Moon Age Heading For The Door Gold Dust Topical Solution Docking The Pod The Landing Constellations The Queen Of Hearts Two Way Radio Inside Out Stratosphere Reed To Hillsborough Shadows Of Planes Earth Moon Transit The Twins/Romantica Sideria
