Released in 2020 on Domino Records, Gene marks the long-awaited return of LA Priest — the project of Sam Dust, formerly of Late of the Pier — following his acclaimed 2015 debut Inji. Co-produced with Erol Alkan, the album is named after a custom modular drum machine that Dust conceived, designed, and built entirely by hand, making it as much an engineering achievement as a musical one.
Gene is a rich and ambitious blend of electronic, rock, and pop influences, recorded across multiple locations and showcasing Dust's meticulous, hands-on approach to sound design. Tracks like "Monochrome" push into dense avant-electronic territory, layering percussive textures and strange sonic details into something genuinely singular — headphone music that rewards close listening. The result is an album of rhythmic complexity and careful craft that stands as one of the more inventive releases of its era.
