B. Cooking
What happens when a band makes two brilliant albums and disappears for decades? Music finds a way, with both Current Joys and Beach Fossils discovering these slacker anthems long after dial-up’s demise. LA’s Current Joys tackle “Cooking” from Contemporary Movement, reimagining the San Jose trio’s lo-fi couch potato slouch as a treadmill-ready, jangly power pop ripper. On the flip, Brooklyn’s Beach Fossils gives “Inside Out” a facelift, tightening up the original’s loose folds while staying true to its curves and freckly stardust. Housed in a full color sleeve, with a nod to Stratosphere photographer Sam Erlich, this limited edition double-sider is a crucial add to any aspiring collector of the Dusterverse.

A new collection of covers honoring Duster, the slowcore band whose status as a classic act with classic records was cemented far and wide by NUMERO's album reissues. Current Joys, the solo project of LA indie singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Nick Rattigan, turns "Cooking" into a racing slice of power pop, while Brooklyn indie rock band Beach Fossils, active since the 2000s, stay close to the original's lo-fi, loose languor on "Inside Out" — two heart-tightening covers.
