About Hiss Golden Messenger
Hiss Golden Messenger is the long-running project of singer, songwriter and producer M.C. Taylor, based in Durham, North Carolina, and active since 2007. Taylor had previously played in the San Francisco band The Court & Spark before relocating to the South, and the project has since released a string of albums through Merge Records, including Terms of Surrender, which earned a Grammy nomination.
The music draws on folk, country, soul and gospel, with introspective lyrics that move between private life and politics. The album I'm People gathers songs about resilience, community and small everyday moments.
