Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster's 1998's debut Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core's first wave. A four track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to "rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out." This foil stamped and numbered 25th anniversary edition comes with a lyric sheet and poster.

"Music for dark spaces and closed eyelids, deeply psychedelic but without sprawl, ambient music with a serrated edge of punk." - The Ringer

"Warm, fuzzed-out sounds that hit home like a tight, melancholic embrace from your favorite person." - Vice
