Description
This Vinyl LP comes with a digital download. In October 2016, Hiss Golden Messenger returned on Merge Records with their sixth full - length album, Heart Like a Levee. The eleven tracks on this album directly tackle themes such as leaving and returning, belief and trust, guilt, honesty, and life on the road. M.C. Taylor, the creative force behind Hiss Golden Messenger, said, 'I wrote these songs during a period of transition and doubt. The song - writing process was raw yet joyous. I spent countless hours with these words and chords in all kinds of weather. Making this record taught me more about myself than any previous one, which is a key way for me to measure an album's worth. I aim to create records that blend minor and major keys, perhaps 'bittersweet' sums it up. Life is a mix of happiness and sadness, and that's the vibe I want my records to have. That's exactly how Heart Like a Levee feels.' Self - produced by Taylor and Bradley Cook, this highly anticipated album was recorded in Durham, NC, with Taylor's North Carolina collaborators: 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.
