Mike Polizze - Long Lost Solace Find (2020) [Hi-Res]

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 glassy chords. 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.
