For those of you who don’t find yourselves regularly chilling in the great state of Alaska (e.g. panning for gold, cold-smoking delicious fish, painting mountains using Bob Ross’s patented wet-on-wet technique, etc.) termination dust a is a term they use up there to describe “a light, high-altitude snowfall that indicates the end of summer.”
I’m not native to those parts myself, but, majestic as it probably is, that…uh…sounds like…kind of a bummer?
Fortunately, Termination Dust is also the name of a propulsive indie rock band hailing from Minneapolis (by way of the hearty Alaskan city of Anchorage) who recently released their latest blistering seven-song EP It’s Never Too Late on the Glacial Pace label.
And that sounds like…the complete OPPOSITE of a bummer!
ESPECIALLY given the exciting news that the band — a duo which consists of songwriters Jaybird Parkhurst and Stefanie Vigoren, by the way — have just announced that they’ll be marking the end of summer NOT with silence and frigidity, but by throwing on their brightest fall jackets and stepping-out for a series of dates with another little “propulsive indie rock band” you might have heard of called Modest the fuck Mouse!
Yeah. Exactly: holy shit.
To celebrate this emphatically non-bummer occasion, the pair has just unleashed a delightfully messy and colorful new video for the EP track “White Walls.” View it down below, followed by the full tour date itinerary. And screw SUMMER; let’s get pumped for an amazing FALL! <3
