Every so often here at Repo we like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. The one we pick today is...
Purling Hiss - Water on Mars
(Drag City)
Purling Hiss is some straight up Philly rock. Pretty much everything Mike Polizze has done has been great and now with the addition of Mike Sneeringer and Kiel Everett Water on Mars is some of his best work. Most of PH's past albums sounded like they were in one room playing music while the mic was in another and that was a part of the flavor. The gritty, dazed, smoked out flavor. But now it seems they found out where the mic was. With a lot of the lo-fi washed away the singing is so much more captivating. So much so I found Myself singing along like it was a Dinosaur Jr. record.
WOM is a rock record with a lot of spit in it's eye and hearty charm. Purling Hiss have the chops of serious bar rockers and the know how to write some top shelf hooks.
Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for - the official list for Record Store Day 2013 is now available! We'll be open bright and early at 10am sharp on April 20th to start the day, so hopefully we'll see you here!
