Sound-Dust is an album by the band Stereolab, released on August 28, 2001.
The album was recorded in Chicago with two producers, Jim O'Rourke and John McEntire, an arranger, Sean O'Hagan, and a number of guest musicians; the group's own contributions are mainly vocals and songwriting. There were five keyboardists present, so the group saw no need for paying for a plane ticket for the group's keyboardist Morgane Lhote; she is nevertheless listed as a band member, but left the group soon afterwards.
The limited edition vinyl album is some four minutes longer and includes slightly longer edits of the first two tracks and a much expanded "Gus the Mynah Bird".
