![]() ![]() It wasn’t until I got up with Dear Life, this record label out of Philly, that things started to happen. I kind of think of myself as a little bit unmarketable. I never saw it as something that I could actually promote. I think there are a lot of us, in my generation especially, who grew up with home recording and made a lot of music. I’m about to hit my 20th anniversary of writing my first song and that’s all just been sort of music I’ve made in my bedroom, bringing people in when I can. I imagine that has already had a big effect.ĪARON: Yeah, that’s sort of a big change for me. ![]() And while it may be premature to slap a name on this new scene made up of artists who blend indie guitar rock with Americana songwriting styles, there is something special happening down South that’s worth keeping an eye on.įust has received some glowing press on Paste and Stereogum, among others. With Dear Life Records out of Philadelphia putting out Genevieve in June, Fust has graduated from Dowdy’s bedroom to a place where important tastemakers are starting to pay attention. Producer/engineers Adam McDaniel and Alex Farrar of Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville, North Carolina have developed quite a reputation the last few years having worked on releases by Wednesday, Snail Mail, Angel Olsen, Archers of Loaf, Kevin Morby, and Animal Collective to just skim the surface and they helped Dowdy bring his vision to life. When it came time to commit his latest batch of songs to tape, for the first time in his career, Dowdy took the songs to a proper recording studio. Scrolling through Fust’s Bandcamp site, you’ll find a number of home-recorded, self-released EPs dating back to 2017 though founding member Aaron Dowdy’s been writing and recording since his pre-teen years.
