Best listened to in the womb, Duster's 1998 debut album *Stratosphere* simultaneously crowned and reinvented the first wave of slowcore. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors before lulling them back to sleep. Arpeggiated, hazy guitars overlay a drummer who isn't quite sure where to place himself, while semi-inaudible vocals warn against millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to let go.
