Limited Edition Double Vinyl LP edition of O Come All Ye Faithful, the 2021 holiday release from Hiss Golden Messenger. Pressed on Bone/Green/Red tri-colored segment vinyl. LP2 is a six track bonus album titled The Sounding Joy: Hiss Golden Messenger Meets Revelators on South Robinson Street. Full album download included.
Conceptualized and written during the chaotic fall months of 2020, Hiss Golden Messenger's O Come All Ye Faithful-recorded shortly after the widely hailed Quietly Blowing It-is a meditation on grace, loss, hope, and community. Explains songwriter M.C. Taylor, "Big, brash holiday music-the type that we hear in big-box stores in the middle of December-has never resonated with me, and this past year it felt absolutely dissonant. I wanted to make a seasonal record that felt more in step with the way that I, and so many others, experience this time of year: quiet, contemplative, searching, and bittersweet."
