Duster is an American indie rock band, formed in San Jose, California in 1996. For most of its history, the group consisted of multi-instrumentalists Clay Parton and Canaan Dove Amber alongside drummer Jason Albertini before Albertini left the band in 2022.
The band released two albums, Stratosphere (1998) and Contemporary Movement (2000) before going inactive. In 2018, Duster began recording new music and returned to performing live soon after.
Duster were closely associated with the burgeoning slowcore and space rock revival movements during the 1990s. The band received an unprecedented level of popularity in the 2020s, attributed to the usage of their songs on TikTok.
