Australian post-punk band Dust have released their latest single, ‘Trust U See,’ marking a significant step forward since their debut EP last year. Accompanying the launch, they’ve also announced they’ll be supporting Interpol on a European tour this autumn.
The new track ‘Trust U See’ combines driving punk dynamics with distinctive saxophone sections, reflecting the band’s evolving sound. Produced following a transformative year for the band, the single captures a mix of literal and metaphorical themes.
‘Trust U See’, in their own words, is “Justin’s literal lyrical recount of searching for pain relief and feeling frustrated is paralleled with metaphorical messages of trust, relationships, and frustration. ‘Trust U See’ became a staple opening song in the live set, forming it organically into the final version of the song before taking it to the studio. We were able to have a new outlook on recording and experimentation. It was our first time recording properly in a studio, and we were able to be very hands-on and take time in post-production to get the song to express what we wanted.”
The accompanying music video, directed by Nicola Jankovic, showcases the band’s energetic performance style, designed to engage and convert first-time listeners to long-time fans.
Critics have praised Dust for their innovative approach to music. NME described their sound as having “a classic post-punk quality… Refreshing in terms of how lush and smothering they all sound,” while other outlets have highlighted the band’s raw intensity and clever musical constructions.
Following the release, Dust are scheduled to join Interpol as a special guest across the UK and Europe, with additional performances at major venues such as the Paradiso in Amsterdam and Alexandra Palace in London.
