Rustin Man - Clockdust

Clockdust is the third solo studio album by British singer songwriter Rustin Man, released in March 2020 via Domino Recording.

Paul Webb was the bassist in English post rock band Talk Talk from 1981 to 1991, and has released solo material under the pseudonym Rustin Man.

Rustin Man aka Paul Webb releases a new album (his second in two years) on 20 March 2020.

Having waited 17 years for Drift Code (2019), some may be surprised at Clockdust’s swift arrival, but the album’s roots can be found in the same extended sessions.

“Early on I realised I had two albums worth of material,” Webb explains. “The first tunes I wrote were electric guitar based, with long arrangements that built up in layers to something sonically quite dense. These became the bulk of Drift Code. As a reaction, I wrote a batch of songs that were tighter in their structure but had more feeling of space. These make up the bulk of Clockdust.”

Idiosyncratic and quietly haunting, Clockdust is seeped in sepia-tinted nostalgia, “a powerful force of nature,” he states, “up there with love and desire”.

The album blurs the boundaries between past and present. Webb insists that he prefers to live in the here and now, but in looking back he’s found a magical, mesmerising manner in which to forge a path forward: for him, for his music, and for his audience.

The album's lead single was "Jackie's Room" released in February 2020, followed by a second single “Kinky Living” released in March 2020.

This album is the deluxe edition on black vinyl which includes a photographic print and download code, pressed in Europe via Domino.
