    They might be moonlighting, but they've officially stepped out of Black Mountain's shadow. [Sep 2009, p.105]
  2. Infinite Light shows that Lightning Dust haven't lost any momentum since the release of their self-titled debut.
  3. If Black Mountain indulges the riff, Lightning Dust indulges the song. Side project my ass.
  4. Gorgeous, exquisite... and no, definitely not a side-project.
  5. For many listeners Webber’s descent into Cat Power-style calamity will be the hook; others may find it a precious affectation. Then again, some people can’t see any beauty in a lonely overcast day.
  6. Although they lack the dark, portentous majesty they conjure with their upstarts in Black Mountain, Lightning Dust reveal subtle charms that are more suitable to their impressionistic, ethereal approach.
  7. Uncut
    60
    The rest of the album struggles to maintain that high standard [of the second track, 'I Know'], but 'Take It Home' is a magnificent dirge. [Sep 2009, p.86]

    One of my top five records of the year.
