The latest release from Cape Town’s very own alternative rock outfit ANVR, ‘Dust’ is a measuredly emotive tale. Expressive from the first few chords of its arrangement, the powerful vocal performance only amplifies its own impact through a wonderful sequence of melodic changeups and expertly placed harmonies. It’s got a brooding feeling to it, a creeping and building progression that lends itself to create a larger than life ballad of a piece. The inclusion of both guitars and synths during the chorus creates a larger expansion that elevates the entire piece into something grandiose and opulent in stature. As they sing the chorus, the entire weight of the track starts to descend onto you, really having you enveloped in the majesty of its arrangement.
A powerful and poignant piece of alternative rock.
