Hiss Golden Messenger – O Come All Ye Faithful (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
M.C. Taylor has spent years building one of the most quietly devoted followings in American roots music, with Hiss Golden Messenger's catalog drawing heavily on gospel, folk, and soul traditions that make a Christmas record feel less like a detour and more like a natural arrival. Recorded in the long shadow of a isolating year, these nine songs lean into the spiritual weight the holiday season actually carries for most people, not the tinsel version.
Conceptualized and written during the chaotic fall months of 2020, Hiss Golden Messenger's O Come All Ye Faithful-recorded shortly after the widely hailed Quietly Blowing It-is a meditation on grace, loss, hope, and community. Explains songwriter M.C. Taylor, "Big, brash holiday music-the type that we hear in big-box stores in the middle of December-has never resonated with me, and this past year it felt absolutely dissonant. I wanted to make a seasonal record that felt more in step with the way that I, and so many others, experience this time of year: quiet, contemplative, searching, and bittersweet."
