Dustin Plumb
Multi-instrumentalist Dustin Plumb, is a Pacific Northwest native, woven of the Seattle and Portland underground. Steadfast on the idea of self-production and the complete craft of music, he undertakes his recording projects with obsessive focus. His unmistakable approach to creating thick, lush guitar textures and fluid, phrase-based lines, yields compelling results that can bring the listener to a whisper's distance of his honest and intimate lyrics, or full arm's length with his smashing riffs
The debut album:
"All Things Dead" -2005
is an obsessive one-man project that was written, recorded and mixed in his Seattle basement.
"Once Precious"
due out 12-2009
