Purling Hiss - Lolita
Produced by The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel, Purling Hiss breaths “Lolita” to life with staggering force and energy.
We've been hearing about Purling Hiss and its creator, Mike Polizze, for some time now, echoing within the inner circuit of Philadelphia's most esteemed music elite: Kurt Vile, Richie Charles, The War on Drugs. Local promoters can't seem to get enough of band as well - their enthusiasm fueled by The Hiss' huge sound, out-sized energy and classic rock n' roll vibes.
Of everyone Adam knew, Purling Hiss was the one he believed would rise to the opportunity and create something remarkable, and so he and the band converged at Miner Street in Philadelphia to record “Lolita” over the course of a warm weekend in early April. The result: Polizze's swirling guitar riffs, and the band's rebellious rhythm (Mike Sneeringer on Drums and Kiel Everett on Bass), take the listener into a triumphant rock-n-roll landscape, one that can't be passively pushed aside in today's music.
