Australia’s leading post-punk outfit, dust shares their latest offering ‘New High’, ahead of their appearance at London’s Alexandra Palace supporting Interpol on Friday.

‘New High’ is an iceberg of bliss and struggle, maximizing the divergent corners of solitude. Momentarily breaking dust’s typical songwriting form, a speedy bass line demo penned by Justin Teale continued to linger, uncertain of its final form and left in the background. Looking away from his own experiences as previously with ‘Trust U See’, Justin looked to the more abstract, where his subconscious would guide him to a swinging chorus melody and the dis/comfort of loneliness - a motif extension of Mount Kimbie's 'Empty And Silent'.

Of the single, Justin explains, “It’s about those nights spent lying in a room illuminated by fairy lights, listening to dreamy music like Beach House, or watching the movie Her and feeling a deep sense of melancholy. Shifting between the warmth of solitude and the desire to move past the more painful aspects of isolation, it’s a reflection of both the comfort and complexity that come with being alone.”
