Dusted Enjoys Souled American’s Return

It’s been 30 years since Souled American last graced the world with a new album. Dusted writes, “Now, at last, Chris Grigoroff and Joe Adducci have delivered Sanctions. The dozen tunes show continuity with the slowcore country genre that the band pioneered, with spare instrumentation focused on acoustic and electric guitars and Adducci’s fretless bass guitar and as has been the case since Sonny (1992), the complete absence of percussion. Despite the hiatus, Adducci and Grigoroff sound great. Their voices, always more about feeling than polish, are a little more gruff but immediately recognizable and as comfortable as a well-worn sweater. The composition of the songs is evenly split between the two songwriters, and all of the songs are original, spare, and slow.”
