Biography
The Dust Dive's unconventional sound borrows from ill American landscapes, edge-city teenage hangouts, and overgrown, overlooked places. Conceived in a noisy railroad apartment in Brooklyn, the trio's songs possess the quirky sincerity of a youth recital while burrowing into mesmerizing, urban pastoral, and ghostly terrain. Employing violin, chord organ, piano, electric guitar, sampled field recordings, ham radio transmissions, musical saw, and two- and three-part vocals that are often counter-melodic and uniquely filtered, their sparse yet lush and textural sound-visions have been compared to Syd Barrett, The Double, Smog, Palace, Dirty Three, and The Velvet Underground. Their live performances often feature film and video projections that serve as a serene yet provocative visual accompaniment to the music, intended to expand on the sense of place and ambience of the music.
