Numero

The Numero Group is a Chicago-based record label, dedicated to the preservation and celebration of lesser-known artists. Their exploration spans the globe and reaches deep into the recesses of music history to&nbsp;create compilations of previously released music, reissues of original albums, and creation of album reconstructions from a variety of musical genres.

The label's focus since its 2003 founding has been to research and preserve obscure recorded material and ephemera by artists and entrepreneurs who found little commercial success upon their material's initial release.

<p>Duster is an American rock band from San-Jose California, consisting of multi-instrumentalists Clay Parton, Canaan Dove Amber, and Jason Albertini. Known for their unique sound, the group has been associated with indie rock, space rock, and slowcore movements. They recorded their music in their Low Earth Orbit studio using older recording equipment like cassette decks. Active from 1996–2001 and again since 2018.</p>

National Album Day is the annual event celebrating the art of the album, and this year we're taking a look back across the best of the 90s.

National Album Day 2023

Best listened to from inside the womb, Duster’s 1998’s debut <i>Stratosphere</i> simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four track dreamscape that will wake the neighbours and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.”


 
 “Music for dark spaces and closed eyelids, deeply psychedelic but without sprawl, ambient music with a serrated edge of punk.” - The Ringer


 
 “Warm, fuzzed-out sounds that hit home like a tight, melancholic embrace from your favourite person.” - Vice
