So, that Hiss Golden Messenger news we were whispering about yesterday?
The secret’s out this morning: Merge Records dropped the widely acclaimed folk band’s new live album, Forward, Children, to support Durham’s public schools, where bandleader M.C. Taylor’s kids are enrolled, at a time of crisis.
The 15-track set documents Hiss playing at the Cradle in January 2020, coming home from a long tour for the acclaimed album Terms of Surrender.
Forward, Children is currently available for $10 or more on Bandcamp before it reaches other digital services on April 3. All profits go to the Durham Public Schools Foundation.
