THE AMERICANA GENIUS OFFERS US A NEW ALBUM OF STUNNING BEAUTY "You can count on Micah P. Hinson's albums to take you back home, to the folk of the great lonely plains, where cowboys without horses or herds soothe their existential angst with bootleg alcohol and a wooden guitar." Les Inrocks Micah P. Hinson's new album, Presents The Holy Strangers, is described by the artist as a modern folk opera. Telling the story of a family in wartime - evoking births and loves, marriage and children, war and betrayal, murder and suicide - this album sweeps through all the mysterious and glorious places life can lead us. We follow the protagonists' stories; their decisions, their flaws, and their beauties; we live with them from beginning to end. For two years, Micah wrote and recorded Presents The Holy Strangers in Denison, Texas, incorporating analog synthesizers and old Tascam and Yamaha mixing consoles. The recording only entered the digital dimension at the pre-mastering stage. Divided between two vinyl records, the 14 tracks that make up Presents The Holy Strangers are sometimes simple and haunting; at other times, voluptuous and almost even exhilarating. From the country single à la Johnny Cash 'Lover's Lane' to the centerpiece 'Micah Book One', Presents The Holy Strangers covers a host of influences over an hour, appealing to long-time fans and newcomers alike. For those who like: Johnny Cash, Jim White, Lambchop, Bob Dylan...
