WUSSY - Wussy
Shake It (US)

“Not a weak track on this album.” ★★★★☆ – Rolling Stone

“A concept album propelled forward by the band’s buzz saw guitar riffs..” – Ken Tucker, Fresh Air NPR

“For exposing ordinary life’s flaming weirdness, you can’t beat the shabby folk rock on this witty third album.” 8/10 – SPIN

“Their country-drone guitars and locked-in rhythm section never give up..” – Robert Christgau, MSN Consumer Guide

“Few bands since the Velvet-steeped heyday of the Feelies, Yo La Tengo and R.E.M. have abandoned themselves so completely to the ebbing, flowing currents of keening, droning guitars.” – Washington Post

“Recalling a roll call of adventurous boy/girl-styled indie bands – Yo La Tengo, Handsome Family, X – Wussy draws on plenty of yin/yang sexual and existential tension, a charmingly shambling, rough-hewn sound” – Uncut

“There’s no humble way to sell one of the best bands in the world, so I won’t lowball it: Inside the basic-on-paper four-piece framework that is the Cincinnati rock band Wussy, you’ll experience marital intensity like peak X, amplifier squall like great Crazy Horse, and oddball folklore panoramas like early R.E.M.” –  Village Voice

“Midwestern alt-country oddballs stay weird, bleak, funny.” – PopMatters

“Lyrically, [they’ve] done prouder for that old Southern Gothic, Raymond Carver standby of minor-record storytelling than just about anyone in the 2000s..This band has one more interesting thing to say about romance and Ohio with each passing note.” – Crawdaddy

“Their most fully realized work on their 3rd and best album yet.. A number of standout songs combining distinctive imagery with dark raw emotion.” – KEXP Seattle
