Quietly Blowing It
“Hiss Golden Messenger's tenth outing Quietly Blowing It is filled with pure emotional sincerity”
Devotion: Songs About Rivers And Spirits And Children
“Devotion offers the essential first chapters of the Hiss Golden Messenger story”
Heart Like a Levee
“On his sixth album as Hiss Golden Messenger, M.C. Taylor’s lifelong theme remains intact: What happens when you feel a distance from the thing that’s meant to sustain you?”
Bad Debt (Remastered)
“Songwriter M.C. Taylor—who records as Hiss Golden Messenger—wrote Bad Debt in 2009, months after his son was born, and recorded it in his North Carolina kitchen. Destroyed in a warehouse fire and just now seeing wider re-release, Bad Debt is an album deeply concerned with the nature of faith and man’s relationship with his Maker.”
Jump for Joy
““Woke up this morning, my God I felt happy / What a strange sensation,” North Carolina-based songwriter MC Taylor sings on the sprightly ‘Shinbone’, one of the many of high points on Taylor’s latest offering under the ever-evolving Hiss Golden Messenger banner. Jump for Joy is certainly an apt choice for title. In stark contrast to the troubled ruminations and sense of the correct order of things”
Quietly Blowing It
“Written and recorded largely during the earliest months of the pandemic, it's the North Carolina roots artist's best LP yet”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
