PURLING HISS
(Drag City, US)
It takes balls to let Purling Hiss get in your face. Their records are a half-corroded, screaming roar of high-end gui- tars crushed together, obliterating vocals and even drums with their singular assault.
Purling Hiss have a deeply satisfying way of drawing from the red, white and blue wells of 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s rock to inform their own sound, giving things a retro ring while doing what they do in the Philadelphia of today—and no other time could apply, really. Water On Mars is heavy stuff from Purling Hiss, unknotting the strings that tangled all their previous records together so righteously to reveal—another, greater
storm within.

Dreamy walls of guitars, repetetive rhythms, sweet vocal melodies, hypnotic synth patterns. Ethereal, eerie and wintry.
