In continued celebration of the forthcoming project, now, Empty Country shares the record's final single, "Dustine." "Dustine" is a far-reaching sonic road trip akin to D'Agostino’s previous band, Cymbals Eat Guitars. Atop a rebounding bassline, he paints a vivid picture of tattered, suburban waste in the southwesternmost extreme of Virginia. Hazy guitar lines reinforce hopeless imagery of opiate clinics in dead shopping malls before collapsing into intermittent, tangled messes of delay pedal oscillation. Like many of the characters documented in Empty Country II, Dustine may never know peace – but she might not have wanted it, anyway.  To celebrate the announcement of Empty Country II, D'Agostino shared the record's first single "Pearl," which also came with a music video edited and shot by Zoë Browne and an additional audio story from D'Agostino himself entitled "Basilisk, or: Pearl Practices Guitar and Hallucinates the Future" (available HERE). Later, he shared a second track called "Erlking," alongside an accompanying music video, and most recently, he released his stellar tribute to his friend and mentor David Berman of Silver Jews ("David"). Stay tuned for the full-length Empty Country II, out 11/3 via Get Better Records (US) / Tough Love Records (UK).
