'Lightning Dust' are a Vancouver band featuring Amber Webber and Joshua Wells. They are both members of 'Black Mountain' so technically this is a side project of theirs. I am also a big fan of 'Black Mountain', they are more hard/psychedelic rock than Lightning Dust, but I always seemed to prefer their songs with Amber Webber on vocals (she shares vocal duties with Stephen McBean)... so it was great to hear about this side project. Here they have an opportunity to explore their more melodic side and the results are fantastic. They released their self titled debut in 2007 and followed it up in 2009 with 'Infinite Light' which was Bitter FM's top album of that year. For me, it is not just the quality of Amber's vocals, but also her vibrato warble, which just comes natural to her. There are possibly some people that don't like her vibrato vocal style... but I personally can't get enough of it. "Take It Home" is from the album 'Infinite Light' and is close to the perfect pop song. The vocals are fantastic, the rhythm section, particularly the drums, are great and if you love strings in a pop song like I do, the second half of this song is so beautiful, I never want it to finish. This is what heaven may sound like.... if we are lucky.
