Space-Garage Rockers Dust Mice presents their newest visual marvel: the music video for “Room Within A Room,” blending 80s visual nostalgia with their signature Cosmic Rock vibes. The track is part of Dust Mice‘s album of the same name, available worldwide via Epictronic.
“Room Within A Room” takes a cosmic journey through the fractal constructions our minds create that distort and control us.
It delves into the intricacies of the mind, illustrating a struggle with haunting thoughts and inner conflicts while searching for solace. They use the metaphor of a “room within a room” to symbolize the complexity of the human psyche and the journey toward self-awareness and liberation from inner turmoil.
The captivating video is a nod to 80s aesthetics while encapsulating the band’s signature cosmic flair.

Dust Mice started in a cramped practice space in the Pacific Northwest with the intent to create a sound and vision of psych-tinged Space Rock. In the following years, they released 2 EPs (“Dust Mice,” “Moon Fetus“), and their first full-length album (“Earth III“).
“Room Within A Room” is their 2nd album; recorded over the course of 2022 as they put the shards of pandemic-shattered lives back together. Although Dust Mice has developed their own distinct sound, they always return to their influence from the true Masters of the Universe and at Hawkfest ’22 Dust Mice had the honor of sharing the stage with Hawkwind.
Tragically, original drummer Zane Graham left this realm on his own cosmic journey at the end of 2022. The songs on “Room Within A Room” are his final recordings with Dust Mice; a summation of his time in the band and a lasting legacy of his contributions.
Dust Mice are currently writing material for their next album and continue to perform live, regularly in the Seattle area.
