About Me |
|
| dust congress is a band with 5 people, not just one. they reside and operate in/out of denton, tx, and are proud members of the paperstain recording collective.
Disco: Regurgitate Sunshine State LP- 4 songs on a one sided 12" LP, pressed on baby blue vinyl with hand screened artwork by nevada hill on the blank side of the record, as well as both sides of the cover. Egg Tooth EP- 5 songs, unedited home recordings. Handscreened artwork and packaging by nevada hill. listen to Dust Congress' appearances on various radio entities!: Florida NPR program GULF COAST LIVE Gutterth Podcast Writings about the band itself: paste magazine: ..chamber folk group comprised of marimba, upright bass, bassoon, trumpet, and Foreman on banjo [guitar], bass drum and hi-hat (all at once) has gradually gelled into one of the most intriguing live ensembles in Denton.. (Dave Sims, as part of "Best Music Scene of 2008: Denton, TX) the dallas observer: "Dust Congress, with marimba, [bassoon], trumpet and the omnipresent Ryan Williams from The Baptist Generals on upright bass—and the unplugged immediacy of the band's new digs suits Foreman's Harry Smith-soaked chamber folk like a capo on a Gibson Hummingbird. " Praise for Egg Tooth: ft. worth star telegram: **** of 5 stars This self-released EP (available at many local record shops or through the band's MySpace page) by Denton four-piece Dust Congress is short -- five songs, around 15 minutes -- but it's full of gorgeous melodies that linger long after the disc is over. The sound is an indie/folk hybrid that merges Pavement's self-aware sloppiness with Will Oldham's attentive songwriting. An odd combination, but it grows on you. This should be every local music fan's go-to late-night disc this winter.-Darren White (ft. worth star telegram) weshotjr.com: ... "Egg Tooth is full of raw, poetic, and affecting songs delivered with an untamed delivery similar to Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum or Okkervil River’s Will Sheff in his less raucous moments. You don’t have to see Foreman play drums with his feet while singing and playing banjo to appreciate this, but it might help to know that he scrapped a more polished, fleshed-out recording in favor of the original batches of demos that eventually became this EP. After all, it’s the intimacy of the recording that makes it such a favorite, with the deliberate, gut-wrenching “Banal” giving way to spare, shipwrecked shards of a soul lost in the meridians, buoyed by the intuitive and skeletal bass playing of Ryan Williams (Baptist Generals), ending with the cathartic, bouncy resolution of “My Name is David.” It's the best 15 minutes of 07. (3.5 stars) all artwork and posters for dust congress are done by nevada hill , and most are for sale through his website. any questions, complaints, booking inquiries or the like should be directed to dustcongress@yahoo.com. |
