DING055 - DUSTY FINGERS, IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK




(WELL! UHHH sorry about the lack of update-age in the past month. My labtop spontaneously combusted leaving me with little functioning internet availability. But here I am once again at work abusing my powers as a employee to write about the newest release. Oh well.)


DING055 is a release of swirling bile and ghostly tunes coming straight from the sewers of Mascoutah, by the Illinois ghoulmaster himself Dusty Fingers(aka Devin Hill). "It's Later than You Think" is the fourth "official" tape by Dusty Fingers, who utilizes droning tape loops of found footage, audiotapes, children's lullabies, and corrosive tribal toms to punch out nasty swampy ooze of musical bile. Songs like "Ectoplasm Under My Fingernails" literally makes you check your uncleaned and untrimmed claws for any kind of slimy particles. The music can convey some image of a old iron factory still running in a overgrown forest to descending into the soundtrack for a boat wandering through a haze-riddled lake at night, no sense of direction.

The tape itself has a small run of 25 with exclusive artwork, so get em while they're hot! You can stream the entire thing on bandcamp right here, plus some of his earlier releases for free as well. Feel free to contact him directly as well for awesome hand-drawn artwork and comic books. Finally, in the forthcoming months keep your eyes peeled for a new full length tape of his, AND a split with Trauma Harness.
