The first Polizze release for Paradise of Bachelors finds the Purling Hiss frontman and Birds of Maya shredder stepping out from behind the wall of guitar noise into the bright sunshine.
Performed entirely by Polizze with longtime friend Kurt Vile and recorded by War on Drugs engineer Jeff Zeigler, this intimate Philadelphia affair clarifies the bittersweet earworm melodicism of Dizzy Polizzy’s songwriting, revealing bona fide folk-pop chops.
“Long Lost Solace Find” finally harvests the wild local honey from the buzzing hive of Hiss.
Stereogum called the combination of Polizze and Vile “a perfect pairing,” and went on to say “Throughout the new LP, Polizze has eased out of the fuzzed-out Purling Hiss sound into the kind of drawling, lackadaisical folk-rock Vile specializes in. Vile is actually all over the album, appearing on five of its 12 tracks. Polizze plays everything else, and the War On Drugs engineer Jeff Zeigler recorded it all throughout 2018 and 2019, so you’re getting some real Philly indie roots-rock shit right here.”
