There’s always a list of things to get right in order to make good music, to have a complete “product”. But beyond all those, Scardust’s music is an experience. And just like any real life experience, it’s hard to contain it within boundaries.

Three years ago, I was thoroughly impressed by “The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again”, so I was wondering, how are they going to surpass their strong debut.
