Several years ago, Grant-Lee Phillips found himself wandering the elegant halls of the Norton Simon Art Museum in Pasadena, California. Amid a collection of highly detailed Indian paintings, one piece stood out. He jotted a note in his notebook, struck by both the imagery and the ominous title. That entry would eventually inspire the name of his 12th solo album: In the Hour of Dust.

“A common theme throughout Indian poetry and painting,” Phillips explains, “is this concept of ‘the hour of cow dust.’ It’s that moment when cows are led home and kick up dust; a cue to prepare the lamps. Night is about to fall.”
