LIGHTNING DUST

LIGHTNING DUST

Amber Webber and Joshua Wells have been playing together for many years as part of Black
Mountain. They’ve toured the world and have played impenetrable space-rock to the unlikeliest of
audiences. With an abundance of creative energy to spare, the two decided to start a separate project
together, that they named Lightning Dust.

Committing themselves to a more simplistic approach with Lightning Dust, Webber and Wells also
decided to escape the comforts of their familiar instruments and writing styles. On their self-titled
debut, minimal and spacious arrangements and a moody, theatrical vocal-style aptly expose the
demons, creating songs that creep into your bones with a haunting chill.

The album was recorded in a dank cave and a bright blue house, perhaps an unconscious yet
obsessive protest of the sunny beach and beer world that surrounded them on the outside. But
despite this unattractive external world, and while completing the album in small fits of insanity, the
two were compelled to retreat to the coastal summer air from time to time, when they could take no
more of the shadowy frame that they had decided to enclose themselves in.

Many of the songs on this self-titled debut began years ago as melodies which persistently floated
around in Webber’s head. And, conveniently, Wells was at a loss for words to accompany the piano
songs that wouldn’t leave him alone. Their creation, Lightning Dust, matched these lingering ghosts
with each other, creating a special, lasting work that perfectly brings together the shadows with the
sunshine.
