I know I go on about them, but Wussy's Attica is already sounding like the album of the year, a couple of weeks before it has even been released.
I'll do a proper review when I've got the actual artefact – CD only, sadly, I gather from the record company – but I've been listening to the preview pretty solidly in the last few days. 'Teenage Wasteland' isn't actually my current favourite song (check out 'Halloween' for that), but it's a glorious opener and this video captures so much of what I like about the band: restrained power, noise and beauty, aching vulnerability, no grandstanding, obviously enjoying themselves
when the kick of the drum lined up with the beat of your heart...
Gorgeous.
