Rolling Stone (11/07)  "Superb...imagine a Yo La Tengo too tight to get cute or far out dispensing a Velvet Underground derivative fluent enough to warm the erectile tissue of anyone with a thing for guitar drones." full review |
SPIN (11/07) "Haunting and exalting." full review |
||
| SPIN (3/08) "Leavening darkly romantic dysfunction with a little good old-fashioned sex appeal." |
Rolling Stone (12/07) Personal Favorites of '07 - "Former Ass Pony Chuck Cleaver and his lissome young inamorata Lisa Walker show indieland how to write songs, think about God and get together in the back of a van." |
||
| Time Out New York (3/08) "These two musicians are not mere bandmates: They are trapped in one another’s bodies." |
Magnet (11/07) "Alive with the gritty, imperfect glow and wry humor of coed combos X and the Mekons." |
||
| No Depression (11/07) "Longing, regret, wistfulness, caution set against gloriously reckless rock 'n' roll." |
CMJ (11/07) "Mournful beauty...gorgeously rumpled." full review |
||
Goldmine (12/07)  "Velvet Underground-inspired distortion and drone, with the ragged melodic sensibilities of The Replacements and country charm of The Flying Burrito Brothers." |
Crawdaddy (11/07) "Twangy, occasionally countrified, sometimes noisy, indie pop par excellence." full review |
||
| Cincinnati CityBeat (8/07) "A collection of misfit players and sounds that, when brought together, create something gorgeous and magnetic." full review |
Boston Phoenix (11/07) "Rural dystopia, recalling everything from the drone of Scrawl to the sexual high drama of the Afghan Whigs." full review |
||
| Hits Magazine (11/07) "I'm almost ready to be baptized myself... or jerk off. Boasting one of the finest rock band names ever, Wussy is the best thing to come from Cincy since Oscar Robertson and Graeter's ice cream." |
USA Today blogs (8/07) "You can hear why critics like them and mass audiences won't, but sometimes (horrors) critics can be right." full review |
||
| Anchorage Press (11/07) "Fragile, spinning and crashing in all its catchy, creepy Midwest glory...like a modern day Johnny & June." full review |
Toronto Eye Weekly (8/07) "Indie-pop wunderkinds...Cincinnati's second-best kept secret." full review |
||
| Amplifier (11/07) "A solid collection of darkly sinuous rock and roll." full review |
Cleveland Free Times (11/07) "Wussy has mastered the art of chaos." full review |
||
| Chord (11/07) "This is a band to love." |
Columbus Alive (11/07) "Wussy has made an ideal companion piece for their 2005 debut, Funeral Dress." |
