Hiss Golden Messenger has announced a new record titled Quietly Blowing It, due out June 25. In addition to the album announcement, the band also shared a new single "If It Comes in the Morning" along with a video. The album was written, arranged and produced by bandleader M.C. Taylor.
“‘If It Comes in the Morning’ was a song that was written in the spring and early summer of 2020. The country was on fire, and I kept thinking to myself, ‘What comes next?’” said Taylor in a statement. “Initially, I didn’t know how much hope to include in the song—I wasn’t feeling particularly hopeful myself in that moment—but I felt that it was important to remember that whatever happened, most of us were going to be fortunate enough to be given another day in which to enact what I feel are the most important and fundamental parts of being alive: joy, love, peace, the willingness to keep moving forward whether the cards fall in our favor or not. And in remembering, at least, that these feelings exist, I suppose it became a song of hope."
Taylor went on to say that the record itself "feels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself." The album features a series of special guests including Dawes' Griffin and Taylor Goldsmith, The Lone Bellow's Zach Williams, guitarist Buddy Miller and Bonny Light Horseman's Josh Kaufman.
