Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering the exceedingly rare 1998 cassette releases of Duster's shadowy, instrumental side project, 'Black Moon' acts as the ultimate document of San Jose's space-rock underground. The recordings are characterized by an incredibly lethargic, heavily fuzzed-out approach to post-rock, favoring glacial tempos and dense, hypnotic analog warmth. The Numero Group reissue finally provided a permanent home for some of the most sought-after lo-fi ambient rock of the late 90s.
