Shadows and Dust is the fifth studio album by English-American new wave singer Lene Lovich.

[1] The album was produced by Mike Thorne and released on his own label, The Stereo Society.

[2] The record company made a mistake with the track listing: they intended to change the sequence of the tracks and updated the art work to reflect the new song order, but neglected to change the running order on the disc itself.

[4] Alt.Culture.Guide said that the album was "armed with sequencers, a deepened sense of theater and one or two block-rockin beats".

"[7] The Venus Zine review said "Lovich has created an album with an updated sound and a darker edge", describing the music as "somewhat goth, vaguely Siouxsie-like".
