Meditative songs like “Fade the Scene,” “Bright in All Forms,” and “Come on Through” are relaxed, gradually evolving guitar jams that combine Buffalo Springfield/CSN&Y canyon-rock with 13th Floor Elevators/Pink Floyd psychedelic, and hints of Ride/Antietam dreampop (and, on “Leaves Like Butterflies from Slow Clap to Applause,” krautrock, prog, free jazz, and funk), with Harrison’s irregular, soulful vocals acting almost as hypnotic shading.

Jphono1 interview with The Daily Tarheel
“There's a lot of, for lack of a better word, ‘jammy’ parts on this record,” Harrison said. “That is a little more difficult to do when you're doing it remotely, but the guys I was working with are incredibly talented. I feel like when I listen to that stuff it sounds like we're in a room playing together, which I'm proud of.”

Oh man, D-Town Brass dropped their new record on us on the sly!
From the crew of scalawags:
"We are a group of composers who use the sound apparatus of a massive horn section to capture the moment. Mostly it’s instrumental music, but there are a few vocal transmissions through our kludged together vocal amplification system, colloquially known as “The Machine.” These are poetic, informative rant-routines, psycho-spiritual downloads, explications of the actual situation here on the Planet of the Me-Hums.
We’re not careerist simps. We don’t expect our music to be the soundtrack for a Volkswagen commercial. But that doesn’t mean no one should hear it. In fact it means the opposite. We’ve created something new and different. We expect it to grow into the collective psyche like a fungus, eating what’s rotten, dissolving the dull, the rote, the derivative in a gross stew of its own anti-meaning."

New Jphono1 Jamz!
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.

"Potluck didn’t coordinate this flood of releases during the quarantine. Potluck doesn’t coordinate much of anything. It’s a laissez-faire label that never set out to be a label at all, and that’s what keeps it going strong." - Indyweek
