A Handful of Dust was founded over three decades ago by two giants of the New Zealand underground, Bruce Russell (The Dead C) and Alastair Galbraith. Declaring their raison d'être in the now infamous Free Noise Manifesto the group has advanced a radical aesthetic; rejecting any notion of structure or comfort they've ground music to its sub-elemental parts. A scraping and howling electricity, spontaneous, unrestrained, physical. Contains expanded and unreleased works spanning the group's history including their first studio recordings since 1995 and new writings, a late coda to The Journal of Vain Erudition, Logopandocy. Includes download.
Deluxe 2LP Edition - contains expanded and unreleased works spanning the group's history including their first studio recordings since 1995.
