by Andrew Morrison | The next cool thing is a band called Lightning Dust. The Vancouver duo of Amber Webber and Josh Wells have been together since 2007. It’s a side project to another band that they’re in (Black Mountain), but to my ear this Lightning Dust is what they were meant to do with their lives.

My favourite track of theirs is called “Never Seen”. Click above for a quick listen before you click ahead…
