Wussy- Cincinnatio Ohio
SKU: 659696558816
“A sort of Americana-tinged My Bloody Valentine... The band's imminent eighth studio album of new material [is] quite possibly their best album yet.” - Cincinnati CityBeat
Cincinnati band Wussy are back with their first new LP in over six years! The aptly named Cincinnati Ohio - out in November on Shake It Records - is the first official output from the five-piece since 2018’s What Heaven Is Like.
Wussy are known among critics and their loyal fanbase for releasing albums of lyrically deft pop songs awash within a blanket of noise - a sound that critic Robert Christgau has described as “merging the Velvet Underground and the Flying Burrito Brothers”. And it seems Cincinnati Ohio is no exception - punctuated with many of the familiar Wussy sounds: a jangly mix of electric and acoustic guitars; dueling lead vocals from Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker; Joe Klug and Mark Messerly’s driving rhythm section; and warm rolling waves of pedal steel - this time split between late Wussy guitar player John Erhardt and newest member Travis Talbert.
On Cincinnati Ohio, the band leans heavily into its penchant for cinematic Americana landscapes, with stylistic nods to bands like Calexico, Mazzy Star, R.E.M. and Sun Volt. This Midwestern wall-of-sound method clearly works for Wussy, who according to The Ringer, has been “quietly crafting one of the great rock catalogs of the decade.”
