Lee Ranaldo and the Dust - Last Night on Earth
A spell-binding alliance surfing a groundswell of white-water trances and gypsy-rock dancing, Ranaldo’s tuneful musings provide a sizeable nucleus for band-mates Steve Shelley, Alan Licht and Tim Lüntzel to navigate a churning journey filled with spacey nuance. Swimming in simmering indie-rock hymns, thick in charging catharsis, “Earth,” works solid plots around meandering jams as the album’s masterful collaboration surrounds each song’s soul-seeking center with sublimely primal timing. United by wiry flights galloping through crusading waves topped in incandescent transcendence, The Dust rocks out with a glorious heart of gold, broaching easy-going vocals in a tumultuous storm of blustery muscle, delicate melting and twisted riffing. Landing October 14th at Madison’s High Noon Saloon, Lee and friends will surely purge your apocalyptic fits with guitar-driven mercy missions.
