Featuring Brian Borcherdt of Holy Fuck and Leon Taheny, formerly of Germans and the guy responsible for recordings from Final Fantasy, Bruce Peninsula, and bunch of very cool others, Dusted just released their debut Total Dust in early July. Minimal and spooky and textured, the album is very much the product of its environment—a garage studio in a Toronto alley. Borcherdt and Taheny take us on a tour of the band’s original home, then to Taheny’s new studio space, where they hope to continue the creative process.
