Dirt Sense is the second studio album by South African recording artist Ashton Nyte, frontman for the Gothic Rock band The Awakening. Described as "stripped down, minimalist, under-produced, almost dirty",[1] and "a powerful album with strong tunes and hard-hitting lyrics" [2] the album contains some of the artist's "most personal"[3] songs. A video was produced for the single Window and aired throughout South African music television.[4]
