Editor's note

LA Priest, Sam Dust's synth-driven atmospheric project

A shifting lineup of musicians creates ambient electronic music with hypnotic pulses and quiet searching lyrics.

For the project's particular mood, try "Learning to Love" or "Night Train." They both have that steady pulse and quiet searching quality.

LA Priest's music pulls from ambient and electronic textures, built around synths and Dust's vocals. Songs like "Night Train" and "Beginning" show the style - atmospheric, with a steady, hypnotic pulse. The lyrics often touch on love and a kind of quiet searching, giving the project its particular mood.

LA Priest started around 2014 as Sam Dust's project, with a shifting lineup that's included players like bassist Tim Batty and drummer Nathan Reed. Dust makes the records, sometimes with help, and they come out sounding like this - that's mostly what there is to say.

Archive material and source history

LA Priest is the project of Sam Dust, a musician and producer who started working on it around 2014. The name references the writers Charles Baudelaire and Samuel R. Delany. The group has had a shifting lineup, with Dust at the center and contributions at times from players like bassist Tim Batty, drummer Nathan Reed, and keyboardist Andrew Mills.

Their music pulls from ambient and electronic textures, built around synths and Dust's vocals. Songs like "Learning to Love," "Beginning," and "Night Train" show the style, atmospheric, with a steady, hypnotic pulse. The lyrics often touch on love and a kind of quiet searching.

It's not a big, dramatic story. Dust makes the records, sometimes with help, and they come out sounding like this. That's mostly what there is to say.
