[tps_header]Wussy: Attica! (Shake It)[/tps_header]
What It Is: The fifth studio album from this little-known Cincinnati band.
Why You May Have Missed It: Wussy is so obscure that it’s become a running joke among their small but devoted fan base. In fact, Attica! is a milestone for them, because it actually managed to get them a review from Pitchfork.
Why You Should Hear It: Wussy is one of my favorite bands in the world, so I personally think everyone should listen to them. Attica! might be their weakest album, but that still places it in the top ten of the year easily. If you’ve never heard them, it’d probably be best to start with their debut Funeral Dress and work your way to this one.
Highlights: “Teenage Wasteland,” “Bug,” “North Sea Girls,” “Halloween.”
