American Dust is an ode to the beauty of the American Southwest, where vast desert landscapes hold stories both stark and tender. Eve Adams’ characteris\c folk noir weaves a vivid tapestry of love, sacrifice and quiet revela\on, conjuring images of dust storms, stray dogs and far off trains.
The high desert of California is a vast and confounding place. Equally inspiring as it is punishing, it’s a landscape that carries magic in its deep dark nights, holding stories both tender and stark in the coarse layer of dust that se]les upon everything. It’s long been a source of inspira\on for musicians, writers, and painters, each of them adding to the same current, carried forward over \me, through hope and hardship and the passing years. Somewhere out there in that broad and boundless landscape, Eve Adams has been living her own desert life, quietly wri\ng the follow-up to 2021’s Metal Bird LP. Where that album sang of liminal space, the dream-like turbulence of Hollywood’s golden age, American Dust is far more rooted in tradi\onal storytelling; a eulogy for the American Dream channeled through that sweeping part of the country that holds such power and mystery. Slipping into different and varied costumes throughout its ten songs, it finds Eve not just observing the people around her but stepping into their shoes and peeling back the layers of their quiet lives.
