DUST COVERED CARPET
Dust Covered Carpet are an Actionfolk-collective from Vienna, Austria.
Six voices, dozens of intruments and an action folk filled performance, draw an arc from fully orchestrated 10 minute epics to minimal glockenspiel lullabies.
They have selfreleased several CDs before stepping into the, erm, professional label business. After their debut release „Rerededust the Doubts I Trust“, and an Split EP with Liger they have now launched their second album „A Cloud, Pushed & Squeezed“.

INTERVIEW
How did the name Dust Covered Carpet come about?
Most of the songs were written and recorded by Volker on the carpet in his flat in Vienna. It is very dusty.
What is everyone’s band position?
As of now Volker does the songwriting, composition and live he plays the guitar, mouth harp and sings. Julia is our violinist, and also does the glockenspiel, melodica and flutes. Katharina joins in with accordion, clarinet and transverse flute. Armin is our drummer and second guitar player. And last but very not least Magdalena plays the cello or flutes, though we are all very flexible with the order of using the instruments. Everyone sings background vocals, does percussions, whistles, stomps their feet, etc.
What is your ultimate direction for your band?
Phew. Lots of things, but nothing to far in the future. Right now we are concentrating on playing more live shows but there are several plans for new releases in the nearer future. The next album is planned to come out in mid 2009. Also we have just purchased a band bus and need to spread our music by selling our recent album “Rerededust The Doubts I Trust” everywhere, and play more and more and bigger and bigger and bigger shows.
