#241 Purling Hiss - Purling Hiss

Get ready for some short ones: doing cites means lots of listening time, but still not that much time to write em up. Read about their new one on dusted, which said to check out their other ones instead. K.

Here's noisy, jammy rock, with a roughly velvets level disinterest in the listener's approval. There's the underlying groove, which repeats largely unchanged for 5 minutes at a time, and then some shreddy soloing on top, but the overall sound is just rough, ferocious and live raw enough to make it interesting. There is the feel of a live band going out there and thrashing ass, rather than some guys in a studio trying to make something good, with just enough organic shifts in structure to keep you on your toes. Kinda unlistenable, nonetheless, though 3.5/5
