Dustin Wong

Hawaiian-born Dustin Wong of indie art rock groups Ponytail and Ecstatic Sunshine took the idea of going solo literally. A performer of instrumental guitar pieces, Wong performed his first show (in August of 2009) by his lonesome, aided only by a pedal board that he used to build a cacophony of textures through delay effects and loop units. His first release, the Seasons LP, followed the same format of unaccompanied guitar, and his second release, the cassette-only Let it Go for WTRCL, found him expanding his horizons with a touch of keyboard and drum machine. In autumn of 2010, Thrill Jockey released Infinite Love. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
