Purling Hiss Spiral Through Space in ‘Mercury Retrograde’ Video

Purling Hiss 'Mercury Retrograde' Video Tour Dates

Philly fuzz-lovers Purling Hiss may look like shaggy 420-friendly basement types, but they damn well know what time it is. Astrologically speaking, Mercury is quite firmly in retrograde right now, so if your personal relationships are suffering as a result of poor communication, take some solace in the gnarly sounds of this trio’s shrugging single, “Mercury Retrograde.” 

The song now has an appropriately galactic-themed video that finds the boys rocking out amidst the stars. Despite this incredible feat (of green screen technology) singer Mike Polizze doesn’t seem the least bit impressed, even when a hundred versions of the man spiral through the cosmos in spinning office chairs. “I don’t know and we’re out of time,” he sings. But while there are only 10 more days of the astrological phenomenon left to endure, this video’s got plenty of life left in it. Click over to Entertainment Weekly to watch.
