Lyric

sunset

dry as dust

海の呼吸を見ながら

笑って歩く幻

あの頃の僕らには

何が見えてたんだろう

遠く離れたこの街で

誰もが答えを探してて

零れ落ちそうになったことは

誰にも言えずにいる

育った町 夕陽の色 帰り道

なんとなく思い出した

ただあなたになにも言えないままでいる

だから

育った町 夕陽の色 帰り道

なんとなく思い出した

悲しいことは何もなかったのに

どうして泣いてたんだろう

    dry as dust

This long-awaited release marks the first new work in nearly a decade from dry as dust.
Though their activity over the years has been sparse, their presence has continued to resonate deeply within Japan's alternative rock and emo scenes, earning enduring respect from listeners and fellow musicians alike.

The band's dynamic interplay between intensity and stillness, alongside lyrics that capture the subtleties of everyday life, has become one of dry as dust's defining characteristics, leaving a lasting influence on younger generations of bands and listeners.

Having shared stages and grown alongside bands such as cinema staff, the cabs, indigo la End, plenty, kinokoteikoku, and THE NOVEMBERS, the band cultivated a sound that cannot simply be confined within today's definitions of [alternative] or [emo.] Their music carries a uniquely textured atmosphere and emotional depth shaped through years of live performances and shared history.

On this release, the [life] and [time] accumulated over the past decade resonate with an emotional weight greater than ever before.
Rather than youthful impulse alone, the songs reflect change, loss, and a quiet prayer for the continuation of everyday life.
leaving a lingering impression long after the music ends.

This is not a reunion that merely retraces the past, but a document of where dry as dust stands today.
shaped by the years they have lived through.
The sound they arrive at after such a long passage of time is certain to once again move the hearts of listeners and musicians alike.
