The debut solo album by Mike Polizze finds the Purling Hiss frontman stepping out from behind the wall of guitar noise into the bright sunshine. Performed entirely by Polizze with longtime friend Kurt Vile (largely live and acoustic), this intimate Philadelphia affair clarifies the bittersweet earworm melodicism of Dizzy Polizzy’s songwriting, revealing bona fide folk-pop chops. It finally harvests the wild local honey from the buzzing hive of Hiss.
