Australia’s cln returns with his second track of 2020, in the form of ‘DUST’. He takes us on an emotional journey back to the bushfires of early 2020, emotionally reflecting devastation and destruction in his music. A keen conservationist, he explains that “this song is a reflection on the scorched landscapes that I’ve been working on and the emotions that they provoke. It’s quite difficult to see these forests burned so badly, particularly in areas where the plants that vulnerable species rely on are now completely gone.” Aside from the lyrics and imagery the music creates, cln has provided an addictive and beautifully crafted track in ‘DUST’. Stuttering drum patterns and delicate synth bass sounds match the different guises he gives his voice perfectly, creating something both powerful and relaxed. - Dan Peeke
