KISS TISHKA – Hiss EP review

August 14, 2026August 14, 2026

342

Kiss Tishka’s Hiss sounds like two friends disappearing into a basement with a stack of synthesizers, a guitar, a drum machine, a few classic records and several questionable ideas, and then emerging six songs later with something unexpectedly coherent. The Minneapolis duo of Andrew...
