The second solo record by Mike Polizze of Philadelphia psych-squallers Purling Hiss and Birds of Maya.  Despite its playful humor and plentiful hooks, Around Sound is a rainier and more pensive affair than its pandemic-era predecessor, Long Lost Solace Find (2020). If Long Lost Solace Find revealed the sunshine and sweetness sometimes veiled by the combustible guitar leads and sheer volume of Purling Hiss (especially in their live incarnation), then Around Sound complicates that picture, infilling a dusky chiaroscuro, ambiguous shadows that play across the late afternoon light.
