On April 13, 2018, Duster posted via their Instagram page that they were "recording a little bit".

[1] Later it was announced that the band's discography would be reissued as the box set Capsule Losing Contact through The Numero Group,[2] which was released on March 22, 2019.

On July 4, 2019, the band released their first standalone single in almost 20 years "Interstellar Tunnel" (the track was not included on Duster), and subsequently announced their third self-titled studio album, which was released on December 13 that year.

[6] AllMusic critic Tim Sendra praised the band for its ability to deliver quality music after such an extended hiatus: "At a time when almost every band ever has reunited to make disappointing, derivative music, Duster have come back to make their most sonically challenging and emotionally invested record yet".
