Rising from the ashes of post-hardcore bands Mohinder and Calm, the band formed in 1996 in San Jose, California. The band's first two releases, Christmas Dust and On the Dodge were also released that year, being demo tapes spread around to friends of the band, with On the Dodge being released by Unleaded Records. The following year, the group put out their first release on Up Records, the Transmission, Flux EP. Additionally, the band released an album, Dweller on the Threshold, under the Valium Aggelein pseudonym. In 1998, the band released their debut album under the Duster name, Stratosphere, along with the Apex, Trance-Like EP released by Skylab Records and the final Valium Aggelein release, Hier kommit der schwartze Mond. 1999 saw the release of the 1975 EP. In 2000, they released their second album Contemporary Movement . The band fell silent following the release and tour for the album, resurfacing in 2003 only for their first music video for "Me and the Birds" from Contemporary Movement. In 2005, they played their final show and dissolved, with the band focusing on other projects like Helvetia.

In 2018, the band announced they were back in the studio recording new music. Later, Numero Group announced they would be reissuing the band's discography as the Capsule Losing Contact compilation, released in March 2019. In July, the band put out their first new music since 2000, the "Interstellar Tunnel" single, coming with the announcement of their third album, Duster, releasing later that year. 2020 saw the release of Black Moon, a compilation of the band's works under the Valium Aggelein name. In 2022, the band quietly announced their fourth album, Together, by releasing music videos for songs on their YouTube page. The album was also notable for being the first non-archival release from The Numero Group.
