Behind the scenes, however, Borcherdt was writing songs of his own that branched out in dramatically different directions than his main gig and informed his solo project Dusted.<\/p>\n<p>Dusted has announced the sophomore album &#8216;Blackout Summer,&#8217;\u00a0out\u00a0April 6 via Polyvinyl Record Co. It arrives on the heels of the acclaimed 2012 debut, &#8216;Total Dust,&#8217; for which he captivated crowds supporting Great Lake Swimmers, Perfume Genius and A Place To Bury Strangers. In addition to steady touring, Dusted also made a cameo on screen in Jean-Marc Vall\u00e9e&#8217;s 2014 film &#8216;Wild&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/1d59aca4aeedaab429816159e\/_compresseds\/8762b9c1-37df-46b2-814c-c23be3bd4fe8.jpg?resize=287%2C287&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dusted Blackout Summer cover\" width=\"287\" height=\"287\" \/>&#8216;Blackout Summer&#8217; is an amazingly consistent and emotionally focused statement. Each song creates its own world of texture and narrative, and all nine of these worlds interlock with the same strange, hazy emotion. Album opener <em>Seasons<\/em> sets the tone for the album\u2019s twilight glow with a protracted, dreamy unraveling of chiming guitar lines and wistful vocals, all building in a slow burn. Elsewhere, the wintery <em>Cut Corners<\/em> hangs solemnly before disintegrating into a wash of ghostly tape echoes. Conversely, upbeat lo-fi burners like <em>Backwoods Ritual<\/em> and <em>Dead Eyes<\/em> channel Dusted\u2019s experimental energy into catchy guitar pop that feels undeniably alive, almost breathing. Take a listen to <em>Backwoods Ritual<\/em> via YouTube below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OnHNkMvY4N0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Blackout Summer&#8217; winds through floating ambience and dark, moody rockers, but every disparate moment somehow feels connected.
