Dust cover
Released

It wasn’t the full end of Screaming Trees, as the much later collection of unreleased tracks Last Words showed, but with Dust the band reached the conclusion of its album run as the subsequent tour, a long hiatus and abortive 2000 reunion showed. Dust remains a remarkable effort nonetheless, a summation of the roots/garage/psych approach that the group made its own, with good production from George Drakoulias. “Halo of Ashes” starts off with that full fusion in effect, while the soaring “Sworn and Broken” and the bright “Make My Mind” are also winners.
