  "account": "In Vancouver, a quartet named PISS has captured attention with their debut album \"you made me / skin on linen.\" Vocalist/lyricist Taylor Zantingh, guitarist Tyler Patterson, bassist Gavin Moya, and drummer Garreth Roberts create a unique sound that delves into deep questions about pain, injustice, and personal autonomy. The album showcases guttural vocals, powerful poetry, and diverse samples from feminist thinkers, blending together to form a thought-provoking piece of music. Opening with children expressing their future aspirations, the album gradually shifts to discussions of feminist voices, such as Andrea Dworkin, Manon Garcia, and Toni Morrison, creating a blend of contradiction and tension. PISS' music is more than just noise; it is a reflection of the human experience, tackling pain, injustice, and the struggle for personal autonomy. As the band prepares for their tour, they emphasize the importance of experiencing their art live, rather than through recordings, as it holds a more significant and powerful presence.",
