Clockdust
''Clockdust'' is the third studio album by English musician and former Talk Talk bassist Paul Webb, under his moniker Rustin Man. It was released on 20 March 2020 through Domino Recording Company. Background and release ''Clockdust'' originated during the same sessions as Webb's previous album, '' Drift Code''. The first songs Webb wrote were "long arrangements that built up in layers to something sonically quite dense"; then, "as a reaction", he wrote a series of songs that were "tighter in their structure but had more feeling of space". Realizing he had enough material for two albums, the first set of songs became the core of ''Drift Code'', while the second set became ''Clockdust''. The album's lead single was "Jackie's Room", with a music video directed by Edwin Burdis. Alongside ''Clockdust'', Webb also announced three live performances, his first since 2003 (with Beth Gibbons) and his first as a solo artist.
