PURLING HISS - Lounge Lizards

2011 (Mexican summer)
lo-fi garage-noise, psychedelia
by Francesco Nunziata
5.5

Progetto di Mike Polizze, Purling Hiss, dopo aver dato fondo alle riserve di feedback e assalti al limite della cacofonia in dischi quali l’omonimo del 2009 e “Hissteria” dell’anno successivo, svolta decisamente verso un rock’n’roll rumoroso e lo-fi, indolente quanto basta, in “Voices”, per tirare fuori dal cilindro anche il nome dei Pavement. Il retaggio punk è a tutto vantaggio di “The Hoodoo” e “Been Teased”, mentre la claustrofobica “Midnight Man” non manca di tirare in ballo anche gli acidi. È un suono sostanzialmente garagista, sballato in “City Special”, ma non dimentico della passione del rock’n’roll. Dubito, però, che resterà molto di questo Ep…
