Lightning Dust is a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2007 and based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The band is a side project of Amber Webber and Joshua Wells, both members of Black Mountain.[1]
History
Wells and Webber formed Lightning Dust and began creating a sound that was softer and more melodic than Black Mountain's hard rock, with haunting, minimalist instrumentation[1] and spooky, goth-like lyrics written by Webber.[2] The band released its self-titled debut album on Jagjaguwar in 2007.[3] The song "Wind Me Up" was featured as the free "Single of the Week" in the iTunes music store in Canada.
Another album, Infinite Light, was released in August 2009.[4] The band performed at Matt Groening's All Tomorrow's Parties festival in May 2010 in Minehead, England.
A third album, Fantasy, which featured synthesized music, drumming, some industrial instrumental work, all accompanying the band's spooky songs, was released June 25, 2013.[5][4][6] This album included the song "Loaded Gun";[7] in 2014 it was used in Quebecois television series Série noire, on SRC.
They released a fourth album on 4 October 2019, named Spectre.[8] They have released three singles from the album: "Devoted To", "Led Astray", and "A Pretty Picture".[9]
