The Story
Hiss Golden Messenger's Quietly Blowing It was written and arranged by M.C. Taylor in his home studioāhis 8ā Ć 10ā sanctuary packed floor to ceiling with books, records, and old guitarsāas he watched the chaotic world spin outside his window. Between March and June 2020, Taylor wrote and recorded upwards of two dozen songsāin most cases playing all of the instruments himselfābefore winnowing the collection down and bringing them to the Hiss band. In July, the group of musicians, with Taylor in the production seat, went into Overdub Lane in Durham, NC, for a week, where they recorded Quietly Blowing It as an organic unit honed to a fine edge from their years together on the road.
Throughout Quietly Blowing It, Taylor brings his keen eye to our ābroken American momentāāas he first sang on Hiss Golden Messengerās critically acclaimed, GRAMMYĀ®-nominated Terms of Surrender ā in ways that feel devastatingly intimate and human.
