Free show at 4pm in the Record Shop!Southern baked finger picking guitar and banjo collide out of the bedroom with live loops and meandering melodies.
Jphono1:
Listeners will discover the album’s most straightforward arrangements on the titular “Here to Be Around,” as well as on “The Wolves That Raised You,” “Shake,” and “Turning to Sky.” The twists and turns that Harrison takes to arrive at these tracks are what makes the record so enjoyable. With its haunting woodwinds and cacophonous percussive hits, “Cycles and Circles” feels ripped from an early ’90s “Drums/Space” take from a Grateful Dead set. “Dirty Drums” is a two-minute jaunt into fervid psych-rock. “Peyote Brunch,” meanwhile, is a quick peek into gassed-up free jazz.
"Turning to Sky" has that vulnerable fragmentary feel, as Jphono1's incantatory fingerpicking soften into a refrain about the world being on fire—though the rippling stream, and ease of the warm psychedelics would have you feeling otherwise. It's a blurry confluence of sound and content, but one with depth—and one that, like a current, sweeps you up and carries you.
