Sarah Krueger: Lustrous

Lustrous was released in December and since then it has made the Electric Fetus top seller list and won this poll. In that sense this album has caught on fast. The idea that "you get what you put in" has paid off for Sarah Krueger because this album wasn't made over a weekend, a month, or a year. Over the last three years she would do sessions at Erik Koskinen's Real Phonic Studio in Minneapolis. She wasn't alone on her endeavor to make this album, she brought in an impressive line up of guest musicians that worked on laying down tracks. JT Bates and Eric Pollard took on drum duties, Erik Koskinen put in his work on guitar, and Steve Garrington and Frankie Lee are featured on bass. Sean Carey, Jordan Taylor, Don House, Ben Lester, Jake Hanson, and Kyle Keegan also played a part in making this album happen.
