Lee Renaldo and the Dust will release their Last Night on Earth LP October 8th via Matador Records. For Renaldo’s follow-up to his 2012 solo release Between The Times and The Tides, the musician is joined by former Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, guitarist Alan Licht and bassist Tim Luntzel.
Listening to band’s newest single “Ambulancer,” with it’s beautifully composed, interweaving guitar lines and nuanced song structure, you can hear that Renaldo’s upcoming LP will be a group effort that brings together hugely talented musicians at the height of their compositional powers. In addition, while Renaldo’s vocals would sometimes provide a reprieve from Thurston Moore’s in his work with Sonic Youth, on “Ambulancer” his voice fits like a favorite old sweater. By song’s end, he’s even joined by the Dust for some cool vocal back-up.
The band kicks off a host of US and European dates starting tomorrow night in Hudson, NY, so check them out below…
