Thomas of Jaded Hipster Choir Reviews Lightning Dust’s I Knew

The complex layers that build over the unpretentious guitar riff, and the bubbling drums all add to the pure fun and love that the singing expresses. Just like a new relationship, tension is expertly built, with quick releases from the drums roaring in, only to disappear like apparitions of the mind. The slow and vibrato-filled synths skilfully contrast with the building excitement, only to end with a quick release, and the fading note into the abyss. Lightning Dust knows what the listener wants to hear, and they tease us cleverly.
