RETROGRADING PURLING HISS VIDEO AND TOUR!

Posted on: March 10, 2013 Posted by: Sargeant Comments: 0
We warned you a coupla weeks ago, “Mercury Retrograde” is now upon us. When Purling Hiss first premiered their burning lead single, the astrological retrograde hadn’t yet begun; but now—- well, shit– it’s in FULL JACK SWING! Lucky for everyone, the mercurial madness of the retrograde – the lack of continuity, the fruitless quality of communications, the endless breakdowns on mechanical, emotional and logistical fronts – will be over soon, like March 17th to be exact (and super-hopeful!). In the meantime, the Hiss have just the thing to help get you through it: a space oddysey of a new video for their single, “Mercury Retrograde.” If we sound like a broken record, well like we said, communication is most difficult during these trying astrological times and if nothing else, we and Purling Hiss just want to get through to you, baby!
As you’re about to find out, nothing will ground you more perfectly in times emo-technological fog like this new Purling Hiss record (Water On Mars, out March 19th). It’s an album of songs that people will want keep in their psychic reserve tanks, creating space as it does for both wallowing in deep waters of alienation and then punch-stroking the way out of them waters with the very next riff. There’s something for everyone here – and in fact, da Hiss’ are strapped-on and geared-up to use the immediate post-‘grade period as a launching pad for their globe-surfing Water On Mars tour! Watch the vid, grab a glass, and ready thyself for fuzz-friendly pour: the whole shebang blasts off next month in Brooklyn, NY, before plowing through the Midwest and rocketing ‘cross the ‘lantic for Europe!
