To date, he has released five studio albums, beginning with his self-titled debut album, which was released in 2015 on Paradise of Bachelors. His latest studio album, “When I’m Called,” was produced by James Elkington and features contributions from Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver, Califone), and others. Blake Mills contributes guitar parts to several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals. Pitchfork wrote: “No other American singer reinterprets our old folk songs with such authority and ingenuity.”
Fussell and Elkington recently collaborated on the music for “Rebuilding”—a feature film directed by Max Walker-Silverman and starring Josh O’Connor. A soundtrack of the same name was released in November 2025 on Fat Possum.
