MP3 At 3PM: Lightning Dust

Those familiar with Canadian psych-rockers Black Mountain will surely enjoy the smaller yet similarly fuzzy sound of Lightning Dust, whose sophomore album, Infinite Light (Jagjaguwar), drops in August. Joshua Wells and Amber Webber manage to keep Lightning Dust a separate entity from their critically acclaimed other gig, and they compress the best elements of Black Mountain into a tidy and neat psych/folk duo. “I Knew” is the first single off Infinite Light, and it’s a fierce little tune that should please those familiar with Black Mountain's 2005 self-titled debut. Look for Lightning Dust's U.S. tour this fall. "I Knew" (download): [audio:IKnew.mp3]
