I'm People

Description

The brand new album by Hiss Golden Messenger is the first album released on Chrysalis Records. I'm People is a vibrant and deeply human album, born from a period of rupture, renewal, and vast wanderings across the United States. Written between Bolinas, the Piedmont in North Carolina, and a motel room in Santa Fe, this album traces the artist's quest for clarity through both external and internal landscapes. These songs address grief, aging, fatherhood, desire, disillusionment, and the hard-won hope that remains after the mind has been laid bare. Produced with Josh Kaufman at Dreamland, a decommissioned church near Woodstock, the album exudes the warmth of musicians playing in a circle, the light of stained glass filtering through guitars, drums, and double bass. Contributions from Bruce Hornsby, Sam Beam, Marcus King, Sara Watkins, Amy Helm, Eric D. Johnson, and members of Dawes enrich a sound universe that feels immediate, vulnerable, and fully alive. Hiss Golden Messenger is a Grammy-nominated artist based in North Carolina, multiple times awarded for Album of the Year and Best Americana Album, ranked No. 2 on the Americana charts, and performs and tours worldwide, including the UK and Europe, as well as on American television in the show Late Night With Seth Meyers.
