Hiss Golden Messenger - I'm People
Released 1st May 2026
SK says: 'Another album of exceptional songcraft from MC Taylor, who has long since mastered the art of soulful country rockers with a socially conscious lyrics and deep hooks. Recorded as a live band in the studio by producer and multi-instrumentalist Josh Kaufman (Cassandra Jenkins, The Hold Steady), it features a dreamy cast of backing vocalists including Kaufman's Bonny Light Horseman bandmate Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats), Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Dawes' Goldsmith brothers, Marcus King and many more supplementing Taylor's reedy, Dylanesque delivery, while the woodwinds of Mountain Goats saxophonist Matt Douglas underscore several songs and Bruce Hornsby lends his silvery piano to beautiful album closer "Depends On The River".'
The brand-new album from Hiss Golden Messenger and the first release with Chrysalis Records.
I'm People is a vivid, deeply human album born from a period of rupture, renewal, and vast American wandering. Written across Bolinas, the North Carolina Piedmont, and a Santa Fe motel room, the record traces the artist's search for clarity through landscapes both external and internal. These songs move through heartbreak, aging, fatherhood, desire, disillusionment, and the hard-won hope that remains after the spirit has been scraped bare. Produced with Josh Kaufman at Dreamland, a decommissioned church outside Woodstock, the album carries the warmth of musicians playing live in a circle, stained-glass light filtering across guitars, drums, and upright bass. Contributions from Bruce Hornsby, Sam Beam, Marcus King, Sara Watkins, Amy Helm, Eric D. Johnson, and members of Dawes enrich a sound world that feels immediate, vulnerable, and fully alive.
"I'm People is an intensely human record, and so one that needed to feel immediate, vulnerable, and fully dancing; something you could touch, sing along to, know about, recognize, relate with. I know what the record is to me and I bet it's not so dissimilar from what it's about to you, at least in the broad strokes: The heartbreak and exhilaration, the absolute black comedy of being a person on this razor's edge that is America circa 2025. What other choice do we have than to be hopeful?" - MC Taylor on I'm People.

Now, on her seventh studio album, she steps into new creative territory. Produced by Shooter Jennings, ...

Released 6th November 2026 If Sylvie’s New Season were a movie, Ben Schwab would be the auteur, screenwriting and directing the vision, articulating his story through a cast of actors. In truth, New Season is a record of the freewheeling country-rock variety, Sylvie’s first with Ghostly International, and it finds the Los Angeles-based artist at the helm of a rotating ensemble, arriving at pure, joyous expression and renewed faith in the face of hardship. It’s a rare and refined kind of music...
