Mike Polizze Long Lost Solace Find - Blue Vinyl US vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
The story of Long Lost Solace Find, the debut solo album by Mike Polizze, is a Philadelphia story. It's also a story about the erstwhile Purling Hiss frontman and Birds of Maya shredder stepping out from behind the wall of guitar noise into the bright sunshine to inhabit the dazzling realm of glassychords. Performed entirely by Polizze (largely live and acoustic), with notable instrumental and vocal contributions from longtime friend Kurt Vile, and recorded (slowly, over the course of a year) by War on Drugs engineer Jeff Zeigler, this intimate Philly affair clarifies the bittersweet earworm melodicism of Polizze's songwriting, revealing bona fide folk-pop chops. Long Lost Solace Find finally harvests the wild local honey from the buzzing hive of Hiss.
In 2015 Christopher Smith of Paradise of Bachelors urged Polizze to play his first proper solo show under his own name, opening for the Weather Station. The present album developed from that decisive moment, with Polizze, Zeigler, and Vile hunkering down in Uniform Recording to chip away at these twelve songs.
And what songs! With very little electric guitar and few effects audible, Polizze's expressiveness and dexterity as a fingerstyle player (not to mention a singer) emerges, especially on unadorned tunes like Wishing Well and the instrumental D'Modal, both of which bring to mind friend and fellow Delco native Steve Gunn. An amiably languid mood prevails, offhandedly achieving an atmosphere of quiet bliss and charming nonchalance that belies the morass of contradictions, bruising anxieties, nostalgia and nauseous stasis suggested by the elliptical lyrics (I told you it's a Philadelphia story). The lyrical content sometimes dissolves into the simple, childlike pleasures of rhymes and phonemic play, dispensing with parsable grammar entirely, as in the chorus of "Do do do" and the "Bam-bam a rambling man, a midnight sham" bit in infectious lead single Revelation, an instantly winsome number which features Kurt on backing vocals and surprise trumpet. The way Polizze sings the banal title of Bainmarie literally, from the French, "Mary's bath," a kind of double-boiler kitchen device, a reference to the hardships of past jobs like "memory" gets at the remarkable way these lilting melodies unfold with gorgeous, unpretentiously Proustian grace and ease. The endless hooks here sound casual, almost shrugged-off, despite their carefully constructed recursive and ramifying nature. Long Lost Solace Find demonstrates Polizze as a fount of perfectly turned little melodies and riffs and guilelessly sung ditties glassychords. Long Lost Solace Find represents the apotheosis of Polizze's evolving craft.
