Dusk is a group that walks the shadowed path. It’s well known in the rural pastures of Wisconsin, where all of the members of this group were raised, that the traditional music of the common people is Polka, but the most respected form of musical expression is Country and Western. Dusk walks cleanly between these two worlds; pulling influence from both but most strongly associating with Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues. They bring with them a strong, informed, melodic statement that draws a line between themselves and the trend of bubble gum pop and country-influenced mall schlock.

Although best known for playing in a long lineage of hardcore, punk, and metal bands, Mark Palm’s focus has always been songcraft and pop sensibility. After finally embracing all that is sweet and sublime as one of the songwriters of San Francisco’s shoegaze darlings, Modern Charms, Palm continues to explore the saccharine side of things with his new project, Supercrush.
