O Come All Ye Faithful

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. Songwriter M.C. Taylor explains, "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."
