Black Mountain members Amber Webber and Joshua Wells have added another regiment to their main band's army of side projects with the creation of Lightning Dust.

The duo will release their self-titled debut under the moniker via Jagjaguwar on June 19, and they will hit the road with their pals the Cave Singers for a U.S. tour starting June 20 in Seattle.

With the constant appearance of new side projects by Black Mountain members, it remains to be seen whether or not the band themselves will ever release another album. They did, however, contribute a song to the Spiderman 3 soundtrack recently, and they have two live shows scheduled for this year. The first is on August 12 in Vancouver's Cates Park for the Under the Volcano! festival, and the second is a previously reported appearance at the Portishead-curated Nightmare Before Christmas ATP in December.
