Powerplant was a nice discovery, but easy vote for Duster and their fabulous yet suitably lowkey and slow-burning comeback album. Def check out their turn-of-the-millenium releases, both underheard gems.

The first Duster album I've heard, and it makes me even more excited than I was before to check out their discography. Great instrumentals, great vocals, great atmospheres. Slowcore but noisy is something I didn't know I needed to hear until now. Instantly in my top 25 of the year. Sorry Powerplant.

Duster was okay but Powerplant is more my thing.

[dihansse]

Duster is very interesting slowcore with an extra and I fairly liked it. But Power plant is already in my 2019 year chart and I like it more so the latter gets my vote.

[RoundTheBend]

Duster does slowcore well by tuning their instruments down.

Powerplant was a fun revisit to a mix of like Devo and B52's and then like Big Black or something.

[cestuneblague]

Duster's excellent. Anyways just bumping this so it doesn't stay buried on the second page.

Duster defeats People In The Sun 10-4 to advance to the sweet sixteen.
