SOME NEW PRESS FROM... Rolling Stone's Christian Hoard "There's not a weak track on this album" PopMatters "Midwestern alt-country oddballs stay weird, bleak, funny." Chicago Reader "stingingly poignant" Crawdaddy "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."  (8/10) "For exposing ordinary life's flaming weirdness, you can't beat the shabby folk rock on this witty third album.. messy, seething passions in all their juicy splendor." |

| Robert Christgau's Consumer Guide Grade A: "This is as brutal a relationship album as Richard & Linda Thompson's 'Shoot Out the Lights.'" KEXP Seattle: "Their most fully realized work on their 3rd and best album yet.. A number of standout songs combining distinctive imagery with dark raw emotion." Washington Post: "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." Cincinnati CityBeat: "A culmination of everything the band does well. The definitive Wussy release." Amplifier: "Wussy may indeed mark a turning point in the trajectory of this Ohio-based foursome, but the insurgent stance clearly suits them well." |

 WUSSY MAKES MAGNET A MIX TAPE - 5/13/09 Read more here - includes full audio of mix tape and a free download of "Muscle Cars" "Since 2001, singers/guitarists Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker have have created an X factor (that’d be their John Doe/Exene Cervenka-like vocal interplay) for Wussy, the Cincinnati quartet that brings bar-band grit to droning, almost jangly guitar rock. As the group prepares for a summer tour in support of its third album, Cleaver and Walker took the time to make MAGNET a mix tape with a broken-record theme: songs they find themselves singing obsessively and compulsively." |
