Fussy by Appalachian Yard Art
Seattle's Appalachian Yard Art has been building an impressive catalog of lo-fi psych folk oddities over the last few years. Fussy is their most concise and unified effort so far—nine surprising, noisy, and often sublime songs. Minimalist outsider mini-epics.

REVIEWS
"Their fractured folk rhythms are laced with a spacey rock minimalism that underscores the band’s ability to take even the most disparate of sounds and merge them into a cohesive and fascinating string of chords and tones...'Fussy' presents Appalachian Yard Art as a band of uncommon resourcefulness and endless imagination." - The Tape Deck
"If there’s one thing Appalachian Yard Art excel at it’s the ability to tease out moments of clarity from their rough and homespun palette...[these songs are] proof that beauty lies not in the meticulously polished but in the honest and messy strangeness of being alive." - Wake the Deaf
"Fussy is not bright and optimistic but nevertheless has something to say and says it in a unique manner just catchy enough to hold your attention...This is good stuff well worth a listen." - Cassette Gods
"Dust in a broken down barn rising into walkie talkie rafters." - Small Albums
