Dust

"On her third album for Hyperdub, Laurel Halo continues to resist classification and deflect interpretation by treating the human voice like a synthetic material to be molded and shattered".

"Dust, Laurel Halo's third full-length, is bright and loose, a collection of tracks dancing at the borders of entropy. United in their restlessness, they probe at the foundations of structure and form, always unfolding, always moving towards ... Exploratory and improvisational, Halo and her collaborators (...) have created a soundworld of productive tensions and rich vibrations, flecked with beauty, felicity, and humor".

"... Dust often dissects the modes and techniques of commercial advertisement and displaces them in barely recognizable, decidedly non-commercial contexts. Listening to the album is like perusing the abandoned ruins of a shopping mall after the fall of civilization, dispassionately unearthing billboards and broken televisions beneath the rubble".

"Den amerikanske producer og sanger Laurel Halo har de sidste syv år været med til at forme lyden af den surrealistiske og eksperimenterende elektroniske musik ... Det kræver et enormt fokus at lytte til albummet. Selv om det er en flydende lytteoplevelse, hvor grænserne mellem musik og lydkunst udviskes, så er det samtidig også meditativt at befinde sig i hendes lydlige bevidsthedsstrøm, særligt på det syrejazzede nummer 'Who Won?' og numre som 'Moonwalk' og 'Jelly'. Det er en af årets mere mærkværdige og særlige musikudgivelser".
