Duster
Duster came out of San Jose, California in the late 1990s playing some of the slowest, quietest rock anyone had committed to tape. Songs like "Heading for the Door" and "Echo, Bravo" drift and hum more than they play, all hazy guitars and half-buried vocals, and that sound made the band a touchstone for slowcore and for the generations of bedroom indie artists who followed. They called it quits around 2000, then quietly returned two decades later and picked up right where the static left off.

Stratosphere (1998). It's the record most people mean when they talk about Duster: "Heading for the Door," "Gold Dust," and "Echo, Bravo" all live here, and together they sketch out the whole slow, fuzzy world the band built.
Biography
Duster is an American indie rock band, formed in San Jose, California in 1996. For most of its history, the group consisted of multi-instrumentalists Clay Parton and Canaan Dove Amber alongside drummer Jason Albertini before Albertini left the band in 2022.
The band released two albums, Stratosphere (1998) and Contemporary Movement (2000) before going inactive. In 2018, Duster began recording new music and returned to performing live soon after.
Duster were closely associated with the burgeoning slowcore and space rock revival movements during the 1990s. The band received an unprecedented level of popularity in the 2020s, attributed to the usage of their songs on TikTok.
