Description
The band Screaming Trees are one of the godfathers of Grunge. Although they were one of the best ‘Seattle-bands’ of the early nineties, they never achieved the commercial success of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
Founded in 1985, the band had to wait till 1992 for their biggest commercial success, with the album Sweet Oblivion. The follow-up, and ultimately their last album Dust, was originally released in 1996. In contrast to the group’s previous recordings that were more influenced by psychedelic rock and punk, Dust is equally influenced by folk and blues, while still retaining a harder-edged sound. After disbanding, lead singer Mark Lanegan started a very successful solo career, working with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Greg Dulli (Afghan Wigs), Isobel Campbell (Belle & Sebastian) and UNKLE.
Dust is available on audiophile black vinyl.
