This Will Destroy You – “Dustism” (Stereogum Premiere)
This Will Destroy You make instrumental rock as beautiful as it is crushingly heavy, and at the end of the summer they’ll release their new album, Another Language. Its first single, “Dustism,” spends about two-and-a-half minutes building a wall of guitars and slow-motion drums before stripping everything back to a small, barely there 4/4 pulse. By the end of the song they’ve worked their way back to another climax so big and lush it dwarfs the song’s initial peak. Listen to it below and check out the band on tour.
Another Language is out in the US 9/16 via Suicide Squeeze with a cassette release via Holodeck. It will be released in Australia and New Zealand via Hobbledehoy Records.
