'''''Dust''''' is the seventh and final album by the [[Screaming Trees]], released on [[June 25]], [[1996]].
After an aborted attempt at recording a followup to ''[[Sweet Oblivion]]'' with producer [[Don Fleming (musician)|Don Fleming]], the band hired producer [[George Drakoulias]] to man the controls for what eventually turned out to be their last album. In contrast to the group's previous recordings that were more influenced by [[psychedelic rock]] and [[punk rock|punk music]], ''Dust'' contains music that is equally influenced by [[folk music|folk]] and [[blues]], while still retaining a harder-edged sound. "All I Know" was released as a single from the album and became a success on rock radio. "Dying Days," a song that was also released as a single to some minor success, features [[Pearl Jam]] guitarist [[Mike McCready]].
[[Kerrang!]] Magazine selected ''Dust'' as the best album of 1996 in their year-end awards. [http://www.alaskajim.com/charts/yearlyalbums/1996.asp] The band toured behind ''Dust'' for nearly two years (with former [[Kyuss]] and future [[Queens of the Stone Age]] leader [[Josh Homme]] serving as a touring guitarist), and afterwards went on an extended hiatus. The group eventually disbanded officially in [[2000]].
