PISS Announce Debut Album 'you made me / skin on linen'

Vancouver punk band PISS have announced their debut album, you made me / skin on linen, set for release on October 30 via Sub Pop and Paper Bag Records in Canada. Alongside the album announcement, the group shared the lead single, "time loop at hot slit," accompanied by a karaoke-themed video directed by Zantingh and Vivyen Sagsen.

The 15-track album follows the band's signing to Sub Pop in the spring. The tracklist features songs such as "kai and friends," "i wanted to be a singer," "andrea I," "manon on the trial of gisèle pelicot," "a little girl’s horse craze betrays her," "toni," "there was a door," "andrea II," "how can you act opposite to this emotion?," "blocking a scene you can’t remember," "self-blame with thorn necklace and hummingbird," "vikki," "Rote Zora. “Resistance is Possible.” Emma, no. 6, June 1984, pp. 39-41.," and "i keep trying to change the ending."

Described as a frantic outburst about growing up amidst systemic violence, "time loop at hot slit" has served as an anthem within the band's local scene for two years. According to Stereogum, early versions of the track were shared with members of the local community who eventually joined in to sing it themselves. The band dedicated the song's release to the femmes, queers, and weirdos in the Vancouver underground community.
