Last month, MC Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger played a few songs for the KEXP crew at the Bunny Glade during the Pickathon music festival in Happy Valley, OR. Watch the pro-shot videos below:
Hiss Golden Messenger "Mahogany Dread" Live at Pickathon 8.2.2014
Hiss Golden Messenger "Southern Grammar" Live at Pickathon 8.2.2014
Hiss Golden Messenger "Lateness of Dancers" Live at Pickathon 8.2.2014
The songs are folky first-person stories that showcase MC Taylor's powerful vocals. "Lateness of Dancers" is the title track to Hiss Golden Messenger's newest album, released today. The highlight of these three videos is probably "Southern Grammar" which is a little more uptempo and shows more intricate guitar work and some really beautiful melodic singing. The outdoor setting is a great environment for the performances, which are certainly riveting.
You can order Lateness of Dancers on Amazon and stream the album on Spotify.
