RADIO & PRESS SAY "Chiming guitars and celestial vocals combine to produce an otherworldly slice of pristine ethereal dream-pop which conjures up the beauty of ‘Spooky’ era 4AD shoegaze legends Lush." - BBC6 "...there's a certain strain of psychedelia, of guitar music which reaches towards the divine. The five-piece have a beatific, euphoric side, one which pulls effortlessly towards the heavens" - CLASH MAGAZINE “Sometimes you chance upon a band that speaks to you right from the offset and there’s no absolute way to explain why. Step forward London five-piece Anto Dust” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT “Anto Dust’s 1955 sounds like what it must be like to go to a church service on Atlantis” – Q MAGAZINE "They sit comfortably between Melody's Echo Chamber and '90s 4AD dreampoppers Lush" – NME
