## Key points

- PISS’s debut confronts misogyny and trauma through abrasive noise rock.
- Taylor Zantingh’s personal account anchors the album’s loose narrative.
- Its closing mantra offers a brief moment of reassurance.

## Summary

Vancouver noise rock band PISS use their debut album, *you made me / skin on linen*, to confront misogyny, sexual violence and trauma through abrasive music and vocalist Taylor Zantingh’s personal account. The review argues that its discomfort is deliberate: the record makes these realities difficult to dismiss and gives them a stark, forceful musical setting.

Across its half-hour runtime, the songs trace a loose narrative from childhood innocence through adolescent misogyny and traumatic experiences towards Zantingh’s attempt to reclaim a sense of safety. Interview excerpts and readings from feminist writers and scholars add social context, while fractured lyrics and unsettling imagery convey the effects of trauma. The closing song offers a brief, softly sung moment of reassurance, though the review stresses that it cannot undo the harm described.
