The trio of Clay Parton, Canaan Dove Amber, and Jason Albertini released two foundational albums on Up Records - Stratosphere (1998) and Contemporary Movement (2000) - before going on extended hiatus. The band's catalog gained cult attention across the 2010s, particularly through TikTok and broader internet music communities discovering the recordings two decades after their original release. The trio reunited in 2018 and released the self-titled Duster (2019) and Together (2022) through the Numero Group reissue label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuster's sound combines slowcore, indie rock, post-rock, and lo-fi indie with extremely slow tempos, sparse arrangements, lo-fi recording aesthetics, and contemplative atmospheric textures. Their work is widely cited as foundational to slowcore as a recognized subgenre and has gained influence on contemporary lo-fi indie and slowcore acts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStratosphere (1998, Up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1975 EP (1998, Up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary Movement (2000, Up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule Losing Contact box set (2019, Numero) - retrospective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuster (2019, Numero)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTogether (2022, Numero)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Dreams (2024, Numero)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Up Records pressings of Stratosphere and Contemporary Movement are highly sought after.
