Hiss Golden Messenger’s fifth album, ‘Lateness Of Dancers’, was one of 2014’s most under the radar gems: “an Americana record of immense spiritual and musical grace”, It was also MC Taylor’s first for fabled North Carolina indie label, Merge Records. Clearly wanting to make the most of their new signee (known to his folks as Mike), next week they’re releasing the gorgeous ‘Southern Grammar’ EP: with the version of the title track (originally on ‘Lateness Of Dancers’)  taken from a session for the Philadelphia radio station WXPN, while ‘Brother, Do You Know The Road?’ and ‘He Wrote The Book’ were both orphan songs.

Hopefully this is the beginning of your foray into the depths of the Hiss Golden Messenger catalogue – an easy amble for fans of Bon Iver, Kurt Vile, Jake Bugg, The War On Drugs and Sun Kil Moon. After you’ve streamed ‘Southern Grammar’, I’d recommend starting with ‘Devotion’ from 2013’s ‘Haw’,
