Purling Hiss

Weirdon

America Canada Fulltilt tunes aggro riffs feedback peals stoned soulsearching pop turnarounds and magisterial portraits of the gonowhere lifestyle in abstract ding dong you're correct we are describing the sounds of Purling Hiss But dig it these adjectives most appropriately articulate 'Weirdon' the fully realized new album from Purling Hiss 'Weirdon' is a newphase Purling Hiss album using the songwriting and guitar style of Mike Polizze to come up with a quicksilver sound touched on only briefly on previous records If last year's 'Water On Mars' was the Purling Hiss heavy rock album 'Weirdon' travels into the pop dimension of Purling Hiss making of their fastest and catchiest songs in the abiding images of punk and psychedelia Written alone to achieve a contrast with the previous album and return in a sense to an original approach 'Weirdon' was made with no concept of limitations any studio venue or bedroom might trap Instead Mike's new songs open up all over the place bloomin' in their homecooked blend of catharsis and shredding both in the guitar playing and at the album's central core Full of colour and rock and roll 'Weirdon' is a rainbow of a record beaming down to the stereos and streets and highways and boomboxes of today through the unique and stillgrowing prism of Purling Hiss Get yer 'Weirdon'
