Dust Mice: Space garage band.

Dust mice indicate poor cleaning, and it is not pleasant and very unhygienic. The band Dust Mice, on the other hand, is a nice acquaintance, and they play exciting and original music. The track Desert Bus taken from the debut album III out via Wormholedeath Worldwide.

Earth III is the first album from Dust Mice, following up on the themes introduced in their EP Moon Fetus. The album was written while the band was actively gigging and the final form of many of the songs was worked out on stage before tracking the album live. To get the layered, out of control sound Dust Mice hunkered down for a session of overdubs and extended jams. Those tracks were cut up and mixed throughout the album as sonic connective tissue, mimicking the chaotic sonic assault of a live Dust Mice show. The studio version is a suitable replacement. Just remember to turn it up loud.

20XX. Earth. The embers of the great galactic war still burn. The Lizard Masters have retreated to the hollow earth. Dust Mice band together, Rolling like thunder, their Choom Wagon brings space magick wherever they plug in.  Music flows with the light speed of love. The stars will never fade again.

Dust Mice sound: Space Chooglin. But not the current depressing reality of space exploration, the post-capitalist domination of the outer planets while USE (United Socialist Earth) rots away in self-indulgent excess.

Less the cosmic promise of early Sci-Fi and more the anxious repetition of alarms that signal imminent oxygen depletion in 5…4…3…2… X_X

The track Hepatitis X is a also track taken from Dust Mice’s album Earth III. A synth heavy post-wave jam about a space virus on a generation ship and people pushed to the limit by years in isolation.

Dust Mice is a 5 piece space-garage band from the Pacific Northwest. Analog synths, distorted saxophone and raw guitar combine with a driving rhythm section to deliver spaced out garage rock with influences from New Wave Sci-Fi, post-punk, and classic metal. Previous work includes 2 EPs and a digital single, which are all available (including bonus live tracks) on the Super Moon Fetus compilation.
