This soundtrack was driven by the lonesome cowboy, a lockdown savior leaving me adrift in desert winds and dimly lit country bars. Long-distance trades and masked meetups yielded a collection of private press LPs and 45s from ten different artists spanning 1973 to 1980. This seemingly random stack of records revealed songs living entangled in themes of hard luck, heartache, and the inevitable loneliness of existence. Adorned in cracked leather and chrome, this album is an aimless wander from the soil to the stars. Featuring an unreleased English version of the compilation™s title track šSky Dust Drifter› (originally released only in Hebrew), the record shifts from laconic afterthoughts to bold proclamations. From Michael Andrews™ blue-eyed soul assertion šSomething Bad™s Better Than Nothin™,› to the searing electric guitars and bold synths of Sunburst™s šSpecial Lady,› Sky Dust Drifter thrives on solitude in a universe of unconditional self-rule where loneliness is not darkness but rather a blazing light of autonomy.
