Fust – “Violent Jubilee” (Feat. Michael Cormier-O’Leary)

Fust is the musical project of Aaron Dowdy, a Ph.D student in literature at Duke, and his pals Frank Meadows, Avery Sullivan, and John Wallace. Based in Durham but formed in Brooklyn, the band plays the sort of crystalline country-rock I associate with Ruston Kelly, Field Report, and other rootsy stuff that seems explicitly designed for indie rock fans. You know: downcast and dreamy slow jams, highly articulate lyrics filtered through glassy vocal production, that sort of thing. (It’s good.)
