It’s not very well-worn, but the Nashville street band to composer pipeline has certainly been a distinctive, if tempered, fairy-tale arc for Joshua Kaufman and Justin Rubenstein, the brothers at the helm of The Blasting Company. For years, curiosity and circumstance guided them through the streets of the US and Europe as they accumulated a blend of American folk and Eastern European influences, grand orchestral tendencies, and inescapably modern sensibilities, eventually landing them in Los Angeles, where they found a home for most of it in the world of film and television.
Their first and perhaps most notable venture into scoring was for the critically-acclaimed animated miniseries, Over the Garden Wall, which has become a seasonal staple for a growing fanbase worldwide whenever fall – or its equatorial approximate – is in the air. Other composing ventures include music written for Burlesque, the New York Times/Serial podcast The Kids of Rutherford County, Adult Swim’s The Elephant, and a three-album soundtrack for table top role playing campaign, The Crooked Moon. Their recent releases feature collaborations with Tom Kenny (Spongebob Squarepants), Haley Reinhart (Post-Modern Jukebox), Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Concords), and one of their all-time musical heroes, arranger and composer Van Dyke Parks.
The Blasting Company’s journey has been one dedicated to their artistic community and their craft. This, and the eagerness with which they explore music’s expansive storytelling potential has made them sought-after collaborators anywhere music can be of use, from Emmy-winning animation to Peabody Award-caliber investigative journalism. Wherever they’re found and wherever they’ll end up, their music continues to introduce new generations to a panoply of musical traditions, old and new, tailored to their own particular – and peculiar – point of view.
Starting with the 10th anniversary shows in LA back in 2024, The Blasting Company has hoped for their live Over the Garden Wall concert to capture, above all, the well-worn warmth of a night spent in the company of good friends who happen to enjoy playing music together. Fortunately, the super-band of multi-instrumentalists, comprised of The Blasting Company and California Feetwarmers, most of whom played on the original soundtrack, has enjoyed traveling and playing music together for most of their adult lives.
Together with friends and local special guests, the band plans to faithfully expand on the original soundtrack and invite folks to experience it the way the composers did: as a patchwork of the beautiful artistic personalities that came together to make it, as an homage to and continuation of the generations of art and music that inspired it, and most of all, as a chance for good friends and strangers to open their hearts up to each other just a little bigger and belt out a few new-old tunes the very best they can.
San Jose’s sonic cure-all for the Y2K hangover that never materialized, Duster emerged from a cloud of lonely bong rips to take indie rock to the moon, and beyond. Home recording accidents and blown-out 2 AM studio experiments resulted in the band’s 1998 debut LP Stratosphere. Quickly after the turn of the century, Duster went on an extended break. This hiatus lasted 18 years, until 2019 when Chicago-based archival record label Numero Group reissued all of Duster’s earlier material on the highly successful 4LP boxset, Capsule Losing Contact. The band would also return with a new self-titled LP, also released in that same year.
This rejuvenation and reformation of the band helped grow its popularity, but it was the pandemic and the millions of teen hours spent doom scrolling on TikTok that accelerated the band’s reach. Just as Duster-mania was hitting its stride, the band released their fourth LP — 2022’s Together, via the Numero Group — and soon after could be found on numerous headlining tours, selling out venues all over the US. As of July 2023 “Inside Out” has been streamed 7.2B times on Tik Tok, and picked up an additional 4.2B impressions across other DSPs.
Now in 2023, we find ourselves full circle at the 25th anniversary of the bands seminal debut album, Stratosphere. Best listened to from inside the womb, Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.”
This September, to celebrate its 25th trip around the sun, the Numero Group is releasing Stratosphere in a foil-stamped, numbered edition on LP/CD/CASS. The LP edition will come pressed on 180G vinyl and include a lyric sheet and poster. What’s a birthday without gifts? Socks, totes, and zippo lighters celebrating Stratosphere’s iconic cover will accompany the release.
But wait, there’s more! On September 29, 2023, Duster’s Stratosphere will be sent to space, its launch and descent captured in glorious 4K resolution for future generations to marvel over.

This hiatus lasted 18 years, until 2019 when Chicago-based archival record label Numero Group reissued all of Duster’s earlier material on the highly successful 4LP boxset, Capsule Losing Contact. The band would also return with a new self-titled LP, also released in that same year.
This rejuvenation and reformation of the band helped grow its popularity, but it was the pandemic and the millions of teen hours spent doom scrolling on TikTok that accelerated the band’s reach. Just as Duster-mania was hitting its stride, the band released their fourth LP — 2022’s Together, via the Numero Group — and soon after could be found on numerous headlining tours, selling out venues all over the US. As of July 2023 “Inside Out” has been streamed 7.2B times on Tik Tok, and picked up an additional 4.2B impressions across other DSPs.
Now in 2023, we find ourselves full circle at the 25th anniversary of the bands seminal debut album, Stratosphere. Best listened to from inside the womb, Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.”
This September, to celebrate its 25th trip around the sun, the Numero Group is releasing Stratosphere in a foil-stamped, numbered edition on LP/CD/CASS. The LP edition will come pressed on 180G vinyl and include a lyric sheet and poster. What’s a birthday without gifts? Socks, totes, and zippo lighters celebrating Stratosphere’s iconic cover will accompany the release.
But wait, there’s more! On September 29, 2023, Duster’s Stratosphere will be sent to space, its launch and descent captured in glorious 4K resolution for future generations to marvel over.

The band would also return with a new self-titled LP, also released in that same year.
This rejuvenation and reformation of the band helped grow its popularity, but it was the pandemic and the millions of teen hours spent doom scrolling on TikTok that accelerated the band’s reach. Just as Duster-mania was hitting its stride, the band released their fourth LP — 2022’s Together, via the Numero Group — and soon after could be found on numerous headlining tours, selling out venues all over the US. As of July 2023 “Inside Out” has been streamed 7.2B times on Tik Tok, and picked up an additional 4.2B impressions across other DSPs.
Now in 2023, we find ourselves full circle at the 25th anniversary of the bands seminal debut album, Stratosphere. Best listened to from inside the womb, Stratosphere simultaneously capped off and reinvented the slow core’s first wave. A four-track dreamscape that will wake the neighbors and then lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars layer over a deliberate drummer with no real place to be, as semi-inaudible vocals warn of millennial malaise and subtly encourage the listener to “rock out, rock out, rock out, rock out.”
This September, to celebrate its 25th trip around the sun, the Numero Group is releasing Stratosphere in a foil-stamped, numbered edition on LP/CD/CASS. The LP edition will come pressed on 180G vinyl and include a lyric sheet and poster. What’s a birthday without gifts? Socks, totes, and zippo lighters celebrating Stratosphere’s iconic cover will accompany the release.
But wait, there’s more! On September 29, 2023, Duster’s Stratosphere will be sent to space, its launch and descent captured in glorious 4K resolution for future generations to marvel over.
San Jose’s sonic cure-all for the Y2K hangover that never materialized, Duster emerged from a cloud of lonely bong rips to take indie rock to the moon, and beyond.
