Fust "Evil Joy" LP

• Vinyl LP
• Country / folk rock

Evil Joy is the 2021 debut album from Durham, North Carolina’s Fust, led by songwriter Aaron Dowdy. Its plainspoken singing and restrained arrangements place it in the space between country, folk and rock, with reviewers drawing connections to Richard Buckner and Bill Callahan.

When the Trial Ends and Night on the Lam pair memorable melodies with accounts of damaged relationships and mistakes that can’t be undone. The record follows a relationship’s decline through songs that keep the writing and voice close to the front.

“gentle, deliberate, and clear Americana/folk rock”
