ALTERNATIVE ROCKMERGE (EXCLUSIVE) 0000656UPC: 673855065618Release Date: 11/2/2018
Composed and arranged by Head Messenger M.C. Taylor at his
home in the rural Piedmont mill town of Pittsboro and recorded
with longtime collaborator Scott Hirsch in New York, California
and North Carolina, Poor Moon offers a moving culmination of
the spiritually-charged song cycle commenced on the critically
acclaimed album Bad Debt. Treading a red-clay road between Bad
Debt and Country Hai East Cotton in sound and sentiment, it is
the first fully electric ensemble recording since the highly limited
Hiss Golden Messenger live release Root Work in 2010.
Featuring contributions from Terry Lonergan, Nathan Bowles
(Black Twig Pickers; Pelt), Hans Chew (D. Charles Speer & the
Helix), Matt Cunitz (Brightblack Morning Light), Tom Heyman
(The Court & Spark), and others, Poor Moon represents both an
elaboration and inversion of previous Hiss Golden Messenger
efforts, proposing an America at perpetual sundown, wracked
by devotion, wrecked by celebration. Named in homage to the
Canned Heat track penned by the immortal Blind Owl, Poor
Moon conjures the unsteady experience of soul at home in
the wild, and it stands as a captivating document of Southern
songcraft.
Haw remastered by Chris Boerner at Kitchen Mastering. Artwork
reimagined by Sam Smith (Lateness of Dancers).
