On the new single “Drawbacks” from Australian group dust, saxophones infiltrate the band’s post-punk angularity, creating a tension between brass-backed swagger and jagged guitar rhythms that feels both unexpected and hypnotic. The weightless malleability that the sax provides creates an engulfing, emotionally-driven sound, something that dust has come to expertly curate. “Drawbacks” proves the band are continuing to hone their distinctive sound ahead of their upcoming album, Sky Is Falling, due out this fall. Give it a listen below and hear how dust turns tension into transcendence.
“Drawbacks” is released ahead of dust’s upcoming album, Sky Is Falling, out October 10th, 2025 on Kanine Records. Preorder available here.
