Wussy - Attica!
WUSSY - Attica!
Shake It (US) / Damnably (UK)
“To certain fans of Lucinda Williams, Crazy Horse, Mekons and REM, Wussy became the best band in America almost instantaneously with the launch of their cult classic debut Funeral Dress in 2005. Their flawless document of ragged songwriting and modestly adventurous arrangements has only grown in dynamism in the years and albums that followed. It was 2014’s schizoid Attica!, though, that put them on the map in a whole new way — notoriously cantankerous Village Voice critic Robert Christgau gave them an A+ rating — with anthems like Teenage Wasteland interspersed with threadbare items like Acetylene. – SPIN
“In which the best band in America remains the best song band in America while passing the Sonic Youth consortium on the outside to become the best distorto-guitar band in America, and although the competition in both categories has thinned out, how many ever dared combine it? Television? Nirvana? The Thompson Couple? That is the territory here. (A+)” - Robert Christgau Consumer Guide

“Remarkable.. This guitar band's rangy Americana jostles alongside melodic punk blur and semipopular drone with the same deftness as fellow urban pastoralists Yo La Tengo.” 8/10 - SPIN
“Mindful drone-rockers from Ohio are alternately terse and liquiform in all the right places” - New York Times
”This is a first-rate band doing first-rate work, and if you honestly care about American rock at its best, this is music you should get to know.” 4/5 - AllMusic Guide
“Walker pays homage to The Who in first track ‘Teenage Wasteland’, a pop song that rivals its namesake.. At Wussy’s best - and Attica! is pretty close to that - they’re capable of doing for us what Pete and Roger and Keith and John did for them.” (7.8) - Pitchfork
