June 9 street date. "Nostalgia Killer" is the new album from Vancouver's Lightning Dust, led by Amber Webber and Josh Wells, both founding members of Black Mountain.
Across "Nostalgia Killer", Lightning Dust introduces a sound that feels vaguely familiar while forming a mythology all of their own. Although this exact work may not have been created if it wasn’t for the duo's separation, it would be wrong to simply call it a break-up album. The album title couldn't set a more perfect expectation for what the album holds. Hearing those words together, one might anticipate something harder, more chilly and severe. But what happens is quite the opposite: listeners find themselves wandering into someplace warm, guided by familiar sounds and voices. Little do they know they'll soon be flung into a climate unknown. Sticky with unresolved, living feelings, walls of synths and bass lines rise to chill-inducing heights, while maintaining space around Webber's singular voice as she sings of romantic warfare like some kind of cosmic Stevie Nicks. An album that sounds arena-ready and devastatingly intimate all at once.
