The Gospel Of Progress

Description

20 years ago, Micah P. Hinson & The Gospel of Progress was released, the astonishingly graceful debut album of a musician who came from nowhere, except Abilene, Texas. 20 years already, and that sense of wonder, like a long train, has hardly faded. Elegance, songwriting finesse, a battered and fascinating voice. Released by Talitres for the first time on classic black vinyl in 2014, long out of print for many years, this splendor is now reissued in a limited edition (1,000 copies), double white vinyl. “Spain for the elegant bearing, Mercury Rev for the hazy production, the finesse of the arrangements, Sparklehorse for the songwriting, and that voice that is both warm and broken, Nick Cave for the grandeur of the whole.” Les Inrockuptibles 20 years ago, Micah P.
