Dust AC Dead Happy

This disc is DIY king and solo artist Dust AC’s most cohesive and great sounding record to date. By cohesive, I don’t necessarily mean people-friendly – I mean it sounds consistent in quality and like everything on it was intentional. Like Jello Biafra with a positive attitude, Dust AC sings his strange lyrics over truly weird and varied music – like punk, funk and space rock had a fistfight and ended up doing drugs together. There are some heady instrumentals and some straight-up rockers, and even a punked-up cover of “Battle of New Orleans.” Go directly to www.dustac.bandcamp.com to check it out.
