Hiss Golden Messenger return on Merge Records in October 2016 with their sixth full-length album Heart Like a Levee. The eleven songs on Heart Like a Levee are immediate, dealing with themes that include leaving and returning, belief and trust, guilt, honesty, and life on the road. Hiss Golden Messenger creative force M.C. Taylor says, \"I wrote these songs during a time of transition and doubt. The process was raw, but also joyous. I spent a lot of time with these words and chords in all types of weather. In the end I learned more about myself making this record than any in the past, and that's one important way for me to gauge whether an album was worth making. I want to make records that feel both minor- and major-key at the same time; maybe 'bittersweet' is a good word for it. Life is simultaneously happy and sad at once, and that's how I want my records to feel. I think that's how Heart Like a Levee feels.\" The highly anticipated release was self-produced by Taylor and Bradley Cook and recorded in Durham, NC, with Taylor's close-knit North Carolina collaborators: brothers Phil and Bradley Cook on piano and bass, respectively;Matt McCaughan on drums; Tift Merritt and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig on backing vocals; and Matt Douglas and Michael Lewis on horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiloxi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tell Her I'm Just Dancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heart Like a Levee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Like a Mirror Loves a Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smoky's Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cracked Windshield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e As the Crow Flies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Day (Sister My Sister)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Say It Like You Mean It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ace of Cups Hung Low Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Highland Grace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005526237405,"sku":"673855057514","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3433556.jpg?v=1727245266"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-jump-for-joy-1","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger- Jump for Joy (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe songs that make up Jump for Joy the sharpest and most autobiographical that MC Taylor has written under the Hiss Golden Messenger name read as a sort of epistolary, postcards between the present-day songwriter and his alias Michael Crow, a teenaged dreamer very much like Taylor himself, who trips his way through the 14 tunes that make up the record.

Taylor's music is at once familiar, yet impossible to categorize: Elements from the American songbook-the steady, churning acoustic guitar and mandolin, the gospel emotion, the eerie steel guitar tracings, the bobbing and weaving organ and electric piano-provide the bedrock for Taylor's existential ruminations about parenthood, joy, hope, and loneliness-our delicate, tightrope balance of dark and light-that offer fully engaged contemporary commentary on the present. And then there's an indescribable spirit and movement: Hiss Golden Messenger's music grooves. There's nothing else quite like it.\r\n\r\nTaylor says that he wanted to make Terms of Surrender \"a wandering record. I wanted where we recorded it to mirror the searching spirit of the music.\" Having written upwards of 40 songs-in motel rooms, his studio in North Carolina, and a secluded cottage outside of Charlottesville, Virginia-Taylor winnowed them down to the ten works that comprise Terms of Surrender. With regular collaborators-including Phil and Brad Cook, Josh Kaufman, and Matt McCaughan-and new friends like Jenny Lewis and Aaron Dessner (of The National), the crew decamped to Dessner's Long Pond studio in upstate New York, Sound City in Los Angeles, and producer Roger Moutenot's Haptown studio in Nashville to create the most fully realized and genre-defying Hiss Golden Messenger album to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Need a Teacher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bright Direction (You're a Dark Star Now)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Old Enough to Wonder Why (East Side-West Side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cat's Eye Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Happy Birthday Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Down at the Uptown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Katy (You Don't Have to Be Good Yet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Terms of Surrender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005908639965,"sku":"673855067513","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3930474.jpg?v=1727233323"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-quietly-blowing-it-1","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger- Quietly Blowing It (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuietly Blowing It is an intimate and introspective offering that finds M.C.

He says the record \"feels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself.\" Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same. Musically, the new songs are steeped in gospel, Southern soul, indie folk, and alt-country with tinges of blues, rock, and jazz influences running throughout. Highlights include the minimalist R\u0026amp;B of \"It Will If We Let It,\" the rolling country groove of \"The Great Mystifier,\" and the heartfelt, smoky lament of \"Painting Houses\" (co-written with Gregory Alan Isakov).

Taylor recorded this spiritually devastating, austere antecedent to the widely celebrated Hiss Golden Messenger albums Haw (2013) and Poor Moon (2011) direct to a portable cassette recorder at the kitchen table of his pine-entwined home in rural Piedmont, NC in 2010. It was the dead of winter and the pit of the financial crisis, a moment when the dire ramifications of debt - in it's economic, political, and personal senses - had assumed a rank immediacy and terror for many working people around the world, not least of all in the American South. Taylor, his one-year old boy Elijah sleeping in the next room, was compelled to chart the sacred valences of debt, doubt, and family in fresh ways, in the process stripping bare and reinventing his songwriting idiom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006502789341,"sku":"673855062310","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3576589.jpg?v=1727217094"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-passing-clouds","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger- Passing Clouds (Vinyl)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006779613405,"sku":"810599022068","price":7.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3524899-2650509.jpg?v=1713483358"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-hallelujah-anyhow-2","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger- Hallelujah Anyhow (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing, includes digital download.

At that time I was feeling—more acutely than I had ever felt before—wrenched apart by my responsibilities to my family and to my music. Forgetting, momentarily, that for me, each exists only with the other. How could I forget? Though maybe my lapse was reasonable: I had just quit my job, the most recent and last, in a series of dead-end gigs stretching back 20 years, with the vow that my children would understand their father as a man in love with his world and the inventor of his own days. They would be rare in that regard. And then—driven by monthly bills and pure fear— I left for another tour, carrying a load of guilt that I could just barely lift. But in that snowy hotel room I found the refrain that became my compass: I was a dreamer, babe, when I set out on the road; but did I say I could find my way home? --M.C.

It was the dead of winter and the pit of the financial crisis, a moment when the dire ramifications of debt - in it's economic, political, and personal senses - had assumed a rank immediacy and terror for many working people around the world, not least of all in the American South.

Its ten new songs, penned by HGM principal M.C. Taylor, were recorded with Brad Cook, Phil Cook, Josh Kaufman, Darren Jessee, Michael Lewis, and Evan Ringel. Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Tift Merritt, Skylar Gudasz, Tamisha Waden, Mac McCaughan, and John Paul White provided vocal harmonies. From the desk of M.C. Taylor, July 18, 2017: I’m from nowhere. That’s the way I feel about it now, right at this moment. Music took me and made me and gave me a purpose and I built my world with it, and now my geography is a musical one, forever. And when I break, when I think about running as far as I can, I remember that there is nothing that does me like music, and I might as well be a poor man in a world of my own device. Hallelujah anyhow. Rhythm? I learned it over twenty years in the back of rented vans, in attics and back rooms—hard places to get to, harder places to get out of. And now rhythm is my clock and I live by it. We all do. But it’ll kill you if you’re not careful. It might kill you even if you are. Hallelujah anyhow. I see the dark clouds. I was designed to see them. They’re the same clouds of fear and destruction that have darkened the world since Revelations, just different actors. But this music is for hope. That’s the only thing I want to say about it. Love is the only way out. I’ve never been afraid of the darkness; it’s just a different kind of light. And if some days that belief comes harder than others, hallelujah anyhow. Whatcha gonna do when the wall comes down? When the wall comes down? What you ought to do is let it lie—let it lie And in the gathering darkness vow to never go back It was built by man and you can tear it down Tear it down, tear it down Step back, Jack, from the darkness I’ve seen darker things than night.

He says the record \"feels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself.\" Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same. Musically, the new songs are steeped in gospel, Southern soul, indie folk, and alt-country with tinges of blues, rock, and jazz influences running throughout. Highlights include the minimalist R\u0026amp;B of \"It Will If We Let It,\" the rolling country groove of \"The Great Mystifier,\" and the heartfelt, smoky lament of \"Painting Houses\" (co-written with Gregory Alan Isakov). Quietly Blowing It features special guests that include Griffin and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, Zach Williams of The Lone Bellow, Nashville guitar great Buddy Miller, and producer\/musician Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWay Back in the Way Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Mystifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMighty Dollar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuietly Blowing It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Will If We Let It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardlytown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf It Comes in the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlory Strums (Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainting Houses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngels in the Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987248861405,"sku":"673855075525","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3947551-2681879.jpg?v=1762932442"},{"product_id":"hiss-golden-messenger-im-people","title":"Hiss Golden Messenger- I'm People (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHiss Golden Messenger - I'm People.

Written across Bolinas, the North Carolina Piedmont,\u003cbr\u003eand a Santa Fe motel room, the record traces the artist’s search for clarity through\u003cbr\u003elandscapes both external and internal. These songs move through heartbreak, aging,\u003cbr\u003efatherhood, desire, disillusionment, and the hard-won hope that remains after the\u003cbr\u003espirit has been scraped bare. Produced with Josh Kaufman at Dreamland, a\u003cbr\u003edecommissioned church outside Woodstock, the album carries the warmth of\u003cbr\u003emusicians playing live in a circle, stained-glass light filtering across guitars, drums,\u003cbr\u003eand upright bass.
