Wussy :: Funeral Dress

Released twenty years ago, Cincinnati band Wussy's gritty and homespun debut Funeral Dress established the beginning of a remarkably consistent discography. With a distinctively midwestern blue collar ethos, co-vocalists Chuck Cleaver (of nineties alt-country outfit Ass Ponys) and Lisa Walker deliver a tour de- orce of breakup songs and all sorts of assorted angst. There's a touch of Lucinda Williams meets Crazy Horse sway in Walker's leads, while droning guitars make way for Cleaver's infectiously oft-kilter songcraft.
