Description:

Fustâ??s first record "Evil Joy" was a bitter domestic drama obsessed with the kitchen-sink passage of time measured by moments of leaving and returning. With "Genevieve", we find a different kind of leaving: leaving behind, leaving oneâ??s old ways, starting anew, a small life together, in â??Family Country.â? Thus, Genevieve: an historical name for both the saintly and the ordinary, the peasantry and the family, the community and the wife, extreme devotion and absolute forbearance. While sonically and instrumentally louder than Evil Joy, Genevieve is thematically more quiet about its painsâ??more settled in its ways. It is a collection of pathetic love stories written in dedication to â??small life,â? moving from gentle exceptions (â??I can take the late hours if youâ??re with meâ?) to pitiful admissions (â??Iâ??m never going to change when I leaveâ?¦â?). What comes with a quiet life? The highest forms of beauty, but we also find here songs of unspeaking companions, the sublime dread of having children, the balance of humility and humiliation, playing the fool for the greater good, andâ?¦ budget birthday parties. With these stories of possible growth, "Genevieve" canâ??t help but also feature tried and true examples of crisis and repression: seeking a bygone lifestyle in an old friend who hasnâ??t changed much over the years, pissing contests, search parties as the form of community for melancholics with no clue what theyâ??ve lost, old flames you won't let go and dying flames you wonâ??t admit. "Genevieve" was recorded throughout 2021-2022 (mostly) at Drop of Sun studio in Asheville NC by Alex Farrar. The painting by Sasha Popovici is exactly right: a domestic scene yet unfinished. Many friends helped to make it much better than it was without themâ??Xandy Chelmis, Michael Cormier-Oâ??Leary, Indigo De Souza, MJ Lenderman, Courtney Werner. -
