Production

edit

The album was co-produced by T Bone Burnett, and partly mixed by Daniel Lanois.[9] Henry initially attempted to have Dr. Dre produce Fuse.[10]

Critical reception

edit

The A.V. Club wrote that the album "continues to develop Trampoline's spooky style of bluesy Americana."[1] The Chicago Reader wrote that "the entire album exudes a kind of sweet, danceable darkness, with sparse drum loops, moody bass lines, and delicate guitar and synthesizer washes."[11]
