From the dream-laced soundscapes of Sydney/Eora, Lucidbloom return with ‘Dust’, a stirring meditation on emotional weight, love gone cold, and the quiet defiance of letting go. More than just a single, ‘Dust’ is an act of release – raw, resolute, and beautifully unburdened.

Through vivid, almost mythic imagery, boulders dragged uphill, skin-bound ropes, slipping gravel, the track conjures the exhaustion of clinging to a love long past its prime. But rather than dwell in sorrow, Lucidbloom leans into the clarity of surrender. The boulder is released. The fall is chosen. And with it, the self is reclaimed.

“There comes a point where the spark just isn’t there anymore, and the vibe turns heavy,’ the band explains. ‘Dust captures the moment of deciding: no more. It’s an emancipation from responsibility, an ambivalence that replaces the burden of caring too much.”

Musically, ‘Dust’ marks a compelling evolution for Lucidbloom. Their signature blend of lush textures and ethereal harmonies remains, but now pulses with sharper dynamics, groove-driven basslines, and a percussive urgency that reflects a revitalized creative energy.

Lucidbloom has never existed solely within the confines of sound. As a multidisciplinary collective, they continuously blur the borders between music, light, video, and performance. Their upcoming video for ‘Dust’, created in collaboration with glitch artist Naomi Oliver, is the latest in a growing series of works that stretch their sonic vision into the visual and experiential realm.

Fittingly, the song’s origins are humble and spontaneous, a demo born in the back of a truck during one of the band’s low-stakes, snack-fueled writing sessions. “It came together quickly and has become one of our favourite songs to play live,” they reflect.

With launch shows in Sydney and Melbourne and a new EP on the horizon, Lucidbloom is building more than a discography; they’re crafting a sensory world, one where music is just the entry point.

In ‘Dust’, endings are not collapses but catalysts. Loss becomes clarity. Release becomes power. And in letting go, Lucidbloom finds transcendence.
