Dust Galaxy: Too much dust, not a must

6th November 2007

The Thievery Corporation (moment of respect) spinoff Dust Galaxy-headed by half of TC’s Rob Garza-has come out with his/their self-titled debut. I had very high expectations, thinking that I was going to be getting an early taste of what Thievery Corporation will put forth in their new album next year. What I got was something rather…plain. Not only that, I found most of Dust Galaxy to be unlistenable. There seems to be little coherence throughout, with the lead singer’s subpar vocals being the only thread connecting these pseudo-70s psychadelic meets eastern rhythms. That’s not to say that there’s nothing salvageable here, but I’ll let you be the judge.

Grab a copy of Dust Galaxy…if you dare (spooky, I know)

Listen to “Overhead” (4.5/5)

Listen to “Sun in Your Head” (4.4/5)
