Released by Fuzz Club Records.

"German Duo create desert inspired soundtrack for the mind.
Dust Moves is desert exotica, conjuring images that are earthbound and cosmic in equal measure"
PROG MAGAZINE

"...western, desert blues, dusty psychedelic vibes, cool beats and trippy meanderings. Pretty Lightning provided me with an awesome soundtrack. This is great late-night music, driving music, or just kicking it, relaxing on the couch with the headphones on with one’s preferred mind-altering substance music."
THE SLEEPING SHAMAN

"... I wouldn’t be the first to liken some of Dust Moves to Morricone, and sure, “Powdermill” has some of that Dollars-style reverb and “The Secret is Locked Inside” lays out a subtle nighttime threat in its rattlesnake shaker, but these ideas are bent and shaped to Pretty Lightning‘s overarching purpose, and even with 14 songs, the fact that the album only runs 43 minutes should tell you that even as they seem to head right into the great unknown wilderness of intent, they never dwell in any single position for too long, and are in no danger of overstaying their welcome. Sometimes experiments work...."
THE OBELISK

"Dust Moves is more of an exploration than a statement, with instruments bent out of shape in the quest to discover new sounds. As guitars lick away gently in front of native drums, this music is timeless. Gentle drones add weight while distorted space noise swoops in like vultures circling, never threatening directly but hinting of otherworldy malice...
ISOLATION RECORDS UK

"Pretty Lighting’s approach is a gentle, subtle, layer building work, where they seduce you into their song’s small little environment in such a vivid way that it feels like you can live there for a while. Most of the sounds are linked to rhythm and blues and old time western folk, but Pretty Lightning manage to meld them together in such a way that they become their own little entities."
WEIRDO SHRINE

"...wirkt es doch, als hätten Pretty Lightning hiermit entweder ein neues Kapitel in ihrer Bandgeschichte begonnen, oder als hätten sie einen Nebenschauplatz zu ihrem Sumpfnarrativ beschrieben. Zweifelsohne jedoch ist der hypnotisierende Charakter dieses brütend heißen Albums von umwerfender Natur. Mit “Dust Moves” schicken Pretty Lightning die Hörer*innen in die Wüste"
BETREUTES PROGGEN

"Das Album wimmelt von vielfältigen Gitarren- und Synthiklängen sowie eingängigen Minimelodien, die die Hörerschaft nur selten abschweifen lassen – was schon mal passieren könnte bei 14 Songs, Pardon Sounds.Dust Moves“ ist ein Sinnbild dafür, dass experimenteller Sound nicht immer anstrengend und psychedelisch bluesige Musik nicht immer gleich klingen muss. Ausgefallen, zugänglich, offen, nice (Dust) Moves.
NEOLYD

"...Dabei entfernt sich das Duo deutlich von seinen Garage-Rock-Wurzeln und zeigt sich so experimentierfreudig wie nie zuvor. Herausgekommen ist in zweijähriger Arbeit ein ebenso abwechslungsreiches wie kurzweiliges Album und man muss es schon so sagen, auch wenn das Phrasenschwein grunzt: Es ist ihr bestes Album bis dato..."
SKUG

„Dust Moves“ (Fuzz Club) ist rein instrumental, experimentiert viel, könnte wunderbar als Soundtrack funktionieren. Vielleicht zu einem Spaghetti Western oder einem 1960er Exploitation-Streifen? Jedenfalls wieder ein tolles Album, die neue Seite gefällt. Fazit: Den Film würden wir uns ansehen."
REVERB IS FOR LOVERS

“Die Kompositionen folgen keinem üblichen Schema, man würde sie zwar als kreativ, aber vorrangig als verspielt und experimentell bezeichnen. Dust Moves ist kein Album für die Charts, eher eines für diejenigen, die Musik mit ihren vielseitigen Effekten bereits verstanden haben. Vorteil und Nachteil der Platte ist, dass man sich leicht darin verliert."

about

Pretty Lightning Saarbrücken, Germany

"These two pals from a small town in Germany have hit on an honestly impressive variation of Delta blues. When they summon a spooky drone, it’s been likened to the Amon Duul II hippy shake, but I hear something closer to Junior Kimbrough in its composure and hypnosis. They’ll hang on a single bobbling lick for a long time, and when it changes up, it’s both traditional and unexpected." ... more
