this might be my favorite review yet "Taking as its mascot a feathery creature with a long, drooping bill, these inventive, art-rock veterans...unleash an oddly compelling, often explosive self-titled debut LP of gripping curiosities and strangely melodic fruit. "

We are briefly resurfacing for a gig next month. Come on out!

“Nobody trusts anybody, funding is gone, and the robots are taking over” is the topic sentence in a newsletter that could describe pretty much anything right now.

good rehearsal today with The Dusty Fates, despite the absence of our legless, half-marathoning drummer. exciting to work on these new songs for the first time with a steady band. New Rotations and Reindeer Soul were each @matthewhunter.bsky.social solo records of a sort. this next LP is different.

One under-remarked (in my mind) consequence of smartphones: No more six month old magazines in the waiting room.

Yo, Brooklyn! Matt Hunter & The Dusty Fates perform Friday, Nov. 22, at Sleepwalk in Williamsburg, on a great bill with Marvelle Oaks and The Ridgetones. Get tickets here! #MusicSky #Brooklyn #NYC #LiveMusic #IndieMusic @matthewhunter.bsky.social
