Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Hiss Golden Messenger. The band's name alone conjures up images of a mystical messenger delivering golden hisses to our ears. And their latest offering, 'Poor Moon', certainly delivers on that promise.
From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where folk, rock, and Americana collide in a gloriously hazy swirl of sound. The album opens with the dreamy title track, setting the tone for what is to come. Each track unfolds like a chapter in a novel, with singer-songwriter M.C. Taylor's soulful vocals leading the way.
The standout track, "Drum", is a foot-stomping anthem that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for the nearest tambourine. It's infectious and joyous, with lyrics that speak to the power of music to uplift and inspire.
But don't be fooled by the upbeat sounds - there is a melancholy undercurrent running through 'Poor Moon'. Tracks like "Blue Country Mystic" and "Westering" delve into themes of longing and loss, adding depth and complexity to the album.
Overall, 'Poor Moon' is a captivating listen that showcases Hiss Golden Messenger at the top of their game. So sit back, relax, and let the golden hisses wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
