Weirdon
“Purling Hiss’ new album is tighter and clearer-sounding than past efforts, but what really makes it stand out is its reconciliation of everything guitar hero Mike Polizze has dabbled in over the past half-decade. The project's settled into a more sharply defined middle ground: gentle strumming and blown-out heaviness still lurk in the wings, but the sweet spot is punk rock ’n’ roll.”
Dizzy Polizzy
“On last year's Water on Mars, Purling Hiss cleared most of the murk that helped define some of Mike Polizze's earlier solo recordings. These two reissues suggest that Polizze's murkier early material was when he was writing some of the most exciting and affecting songs of his life.”
Lounge Lizards - EP
“Mike Polizze, the man behind Purling Hiss, has tapped into a trashy aesthetic that's part of rock'n'roll's DNA. Here, the Kurt Vile associate from Philadelphia burrows deeper into warped, scuzzy rock'n'roll and late-night burnout introspection.”
