Ask The Dust is not just another album. It's two great vintage LP's plus two bonus tracks now available for download! Ask The Dust is a compilation of The Silos' 1985 debut LP, About Her Steps, and Walter Salas-Humara's 1988 solo LP, Lagartija, plus two songs recorded in 1980 from Walter's personal vault. In November of 1985 a tiny New York label, Record Collect, released the debut album from a "band" called The Silos. It consisted of an eclectic array of songs performed by fourteen musicians in various configurations under the guidance of singer-songwriter Walter Salas-Humara. Some cried, "Independent," some cried, "Alternative," some just cried. A new dawn had risen.
