Dec 5, 2014This album is pleasant, but not of similar stature. It is, however, an alternative and illuminating vantage point on his music.

Nov 25, 2014Constant jangle blurs the songs, and a cover of Neil Young’s ‘Revolution Blues’ only emphasises Ranaldo’s newfound likeness to the Canadian in one of his dirgier moods.

Nov 25, 2014Acoustic Dust is for those who, at a bare minimum, enjoyed Ranaldo’s latest solo efforts and are interested enough to hear what some of them might sound like in a different setting.

Nov 25, 2014Unfortunately, Acoustic Dust suffers from the age old problem that acoustic albums generally face--lack of variation.

Nov 25, 2014Acoustic Dust, really, is one for Youth completists; it’s not that Ranaldo doesn’t possess a mastery of the acoustic guitar, but rather that he’s failed to adequately display it on an album that sounds every bit as hastily recorded as it actually was.
