Our Take

The latest offering from Hiss Golden Messenger, "Heart Like A Levee," is a whimsical journey through Americana tinged with a touch of elusive charm. Lead singer M.C. Taylor's haunting vocals weave effortlessly through the intricate tapestry of folk and country influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original.

From the melancholic twang of "Biloxi" to the soul-stirring balladry of "Cracked Windshield," each track on this album is a testament to Taylor's songwriting prowess. The production is impeccable, with lush instrumentation and subtle nuances that elevate each song to new heights.

However, "Heart Like A Levee" does have its moments of self-indulgence. Some tracks meander a bit too long, losing the listener in a sea of introspection. But just when you feel yourself drifting away, Hiss Golden Messenger pulls you back in with a catchy hook or a poignant lyric that sticks with you long after the song has ended.

Overall, "Heart Like A Levee" is a solid addition to Hiss Golden Messenger's discography, showcasing the band's evolution while staying true to their roots. It may not be groundbreaking, but it is a testament to the enduring power of good old-fashioned storytelling set to music. So grab your pint, sit back, and let the music wash over you like a comforting wave of nostalgia. Cheers.
