The Sounding Joy: Hiss Golden Messenger Meets Revelators on South Robinson Street

Last week, Hiss Golden Messenger shared O Come All Ye Faithful, a surprise seasonal record that found songwriter M.C. Taylor arranging his own original holiday-spirited material alongside a few gospel hymns, public domain folk ballads, and other songs that might seem unconventional to the record’s intent in their original form although being perfectly significant in Taylor’s interpretation of the yuletide ethos.

A week later, HGM brings us The Sounding Joy: Hiss Golden Messenger Meets Revelators on South Robinson Street, where Taylor and Spacebomb Records’ crack producer and collaborator Cameron Ralston disassemble and reconstruct the album as drifting and heady dub spirituals.
