Hiss Golden Messenger – I’m People [Blue & White Splatter LP]

Description

Hiss Golden Messenger’s I’m People places M.C. Taylor’s voice and words at the center of a roots-minded band setting, with folk, country-soul, and Americana elements kept close to the songs. The album was written across different locations and recorded with Josh Kaufman at Dreamland, giving this vinyl record a clear connection to Taylor’s travel, family, faith, and self-questioning themes while staying grounded in his long-running project.

The two released singles, “In the Middle of It” and “Shaky Eyes,” give the clearest entry points into I’m People. “In the Middle of It” works from a repeated title phrase and forward motion, framing the song around movement, memory, and a narrator placed inside events rather than outside them. “Shaky Eyes” sits later in the sequence, giving the album another named anchor before the title track, “I’m People,” while Side B titles such as “Last Orders,” “Gabriel,” and “Heavy World” extend its written scope.

Lyrically, I’m People is tied to rupture, renewal, family, aging, desire, disillusionment, and the attempt to keep hope intact after difficult seasons. That subject matter fits Hiss Golden Messenger’s long interest in faith, doubt, place, and ordinary life. This Indie Exclusive edition adds a limited blue and white splatter LP and a bonus 7-inch single to the core album configuration.
