NEW ALBUM: LAST NIGHT ON EARTH • DROPS OCT 8

FROM MATADOR RECORDS 8/13/13:

“A solo record works best when you feel like you’re opening a window into somebody’s life, experiencing the things they’re going through or thinking about, places they’re seeing, through their eyes. At its best, you find a universality in it.”
– Lee Ranaldo

On October 8 (October 7 in the UK and Europe), Matador Records will be releasing ‘Last Night On Earth’, the new album from Lee Ranaldo and The Dust (drummer Steve Shelley, guitarist Alan Licht and bassist Tim Lüntzel). Expanding on the groundwork laid down on 2012′s ‘Between The Times & The Tides’, ‘Last Night’ — while certainly darker in tone & lyrical content than its immediate predecessor, is the sort of dizzying electric guitar clinic that ranks amongst the best from any era. After an exhaustive stretch of domestic and international touring (with more to come — see below) Lee & The Dust have formed a powerhouse unit, and we’re confident the results of these Echo Canyon West sessions will impress & inspire for months to come, if not far longer. Here an initial sample in the album’s “Lecce, Leaving”

PREORDER ‘Last Night On Earth’ on double LP or single CD from the Matador Store
