The smattering of samples wolves, whips and old films, give Pisse a depth that many punk bands lack and while these two singles are two stand alone singles they work well as an album and an album of punk tunes that keeps me interested is a rare thing indeed. Vernissage has a trebly high end bass and so nods to Hooky, the weedy synth gives it a Units feel.
