Quietly Blowing It

Description

‘I went looking for peace’, says songwriter M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger about his new album ‘Quietly Blowing It’. ‘It’s not exactly a record about the state of the world or my world in 2020, but more a retrospective of the past five years of my life, painted in sort of impressionistic hues. Maybe I had the presence of mind when I was writing ‘Quietly Blowing It’ to know that this was the time to go as deep as I needed to in order to make a record like this. And I got the time required in order to do that’. ‘Quietly Blowing It’ was written and arranged by Taylor in his home studio his 8′ P 10′ sanctuary packed floor to ceiling with books, records, and old guitars as he watched the chaotic world spin outside his window.
