Animal Piss Is Everywhere - s/t LP
First album of fried Western Mass quasi Americana from members of Sunburned Hand of the Man, Weeping Bong Band, SQRM, Hoax, Pigeons, Rhyton, Wet Tuna and four bands I forgot.
Pedal Steel spaced out, vibe-coding the countryways.
COMING TO GONERFEST 23!
Gem piled upon gem of woozy, VU-tinged cosmic American music delivered by some familiar Western MA faces (PIgeons/Sunburned/SQRM) will surely excite fans of early Drag City, Gene Clark, Country Teasers et al. Lyrical content explores the enjoyment of inexpensive wine, the enjoyment of wine having been transformed from water by Jesus, nude perambulations, remorse, and spiritual consternation. "Because piss flows from us animals, and is as natural as spring water - and holy water, for that matter."
Pedal Steel: Andy Goulet

From the panic-rock guru Anthony Bedard in 2025:
Their records come across as quasi Americana largely due to prominent lap steel and mid-tempos. But live Animal Piss are a whole ’nother zorched, panic choogle ballgame. At their Stork Club show back in July Animal Piss were shambolic and supremely rocking, zero lap steel but featuring instead a ripping, scorching, Mascis-ian lead guitarist along with belted-out dual lead collision vocals. Felt like the second coming of The Fugs. Real life affirming shit. The crowd went bananas. My favorite live band of 2024 (aside from some of the ones i saw this year at Gonerfest).Â
