About
Lightning Dust, the Canadian indie rock duo formed as a side project by Amber Webber and Joshua Wells of Black Mountain, recently delivered a mesmerizing Tiny Desk concert. Known for their spare and raw music, the band's performance featured Amber's quivering vibrato, Joshua's warm piano accompaniment, and harmonies from Ashley Webber and percussion by Ryan Peters. The group deftly crafted moments of quiet intensity through their haunting folk and art pop blend.
Fans of Black Mountain witnessed a different side of the musicians as Lightning Dust's music took center stage in the intimate Tiny Desk setting. The band's self-titled debut album in 2007 marked a departure from Black Mountain's sound, showcasing a more stripped-down and atmospheric approach that captivated listeners. Lightning Dust's music thrives in subtle nuances, with each member contributing to a cohesive and evocative sonic experience.
The Tiny Desk concert provided a platform for Lightning Dust to showcase their intimate and captivating music, highlighting their ability to create finely knit harmonies and immersive musical landscapes. With roots in Vancouver, British Columbia, the band continues to enchant audiences with their signature sound that balances vulnerability and power, making them a must-see act in intimate venues where their music can truly shine.
