PISS
List Pick
September 30, 2026
In over 10 years of writing about music, 'blocking a scene you can't remember' is by far the most confronting. Brought to us by Vancouver visionaries PISS, slowcore instrumentation gentle cradles a visceral recounting of sexual abuse and the trauma that comes along with it. Like a fly on the wall of an extremely personal therapy session, we're privy every detail and blockage, which appears to play out in real time. Escalating as the piece progresses, vocalist Tay Zantingh becomes increasingly emboldened (and angry). Whilst 'blocking a scene you can't remember' isn't an easy listen, it's a vital and arguably life-changing one that deserves recognition, time and space. Equally affecting live, PISS will embark on a 12-date run in support of Gilla Band, with additional performances at Pitchfork Paris in Paris, Iceland Airwaves, Sonic City and more.
