"After a series of three LPs which alternated between mind's eye-gouging psychedelic excess and pine-scented woodshedding of pop tunes, here comes the logical endpoint between both: Lounge Lizards, six songs that stick around like sedan carpet matted with spilled Pepsi and Pat's wrappers, a hard drill that penetrates historical musical hits, like the Cars through Dinosaur Jr through Monoshock and into the cold, acrid air of present times." Limited, numbered edition of 1000; includes download code.

Repressed. "Purling Hiss is one of Philly's Best! Purling Hiss is the side-project of Holy Mountain recording artists, Birds of Maya, guitarist Mike Pollize. Birds of Maya are a full-on psychedelic rock band from Philly. Apparently, Birds just aren't full-on enough to satisfy Pollize's far-out tendencies. On his debut solo record, Pollize plays bass, drums, and guitar, relentlessly, as if he's playing to save his life. This recording is so intense that the pressing plant told us they'd risk breaking their equipment if they cut the lacquers with the original master. We sent 'em a new master and it sounds great! For Fans Of: Birds of Maya, Earthless, Loop, High Rise, Les Rallizes Denudes, and lo-fi blown-out psych."

Label:	RICHIE RECORDS/TESTOSTERTUNES
Format:	LP
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	RRTT 027LP

"Well it's finally here. It's the new LP by Purling Hiss and it's called Hissteria. It's two sides of hi-energy psychedelic punk rock & roll that manages to weld Funhouse's dialed-in sleaze rhythms to the hungover excess of Hendrix at Woodstock. Or Ginn at Polliwog Park. It's full of clanging cymbals, howling vocals, fretboard heroics, and menacing vibes. Purling Hiss is the work of a well-mannered longhair named Mike Polizze, who is best known for his reckless shredding as the guitar player for Philadelphia's Birds Of Maya. Hissteria is a suitable soundtrack for zonked drives across the dead highways of the USA. Or for pre-dawn paranoid sessions as you pace back and forth in the kitchen trying to figure out just what the hell you're going to do, man. Or just crank it real loud when the party gets strange. Some people will love it and the rest of them can just go somewhere else and go fuck themselves."
