Today the Bachelors and M.C. Taylor assembled nearly half of the rather limited pressing of the brand new Hiss Golden Messenger Poor Moon LP. Pre-order your copy here before the official release on November 1st.

Paradise of Bachelors will officially release Hiss Golden Messenger’s masterful Poor Moon LP on the first of November, el Día de los Muertos. The first fully electric ensemble recording since 2010′s highly limited Root Work, Poor Moon represents both an elaboration and inversion of previous HGM efforts, proposing an America at perpetual sundown, wracked by devotion, wrecked by celebration. We are very proud of this album, and we hope that you will enjoy it.

September 10, 2001, All Day Records’ Hopscotch Party at Lump, Raleigh. L-R: Steve Gunn, Cory Rayborn of Three Lobed Recordings, Terry Lonergan, Mike Gangloff and Nathan Bowles of the Black Twig Pickers, and Head Messenger M.C. Taylor.

Poor Moon LPs and jackets arrive on Friday! Keep those keen eyes trained here for pre-order information, including some exciting bonus offerings from Hiss Golden Messenger. Details about the November 1 release and associated events will follow shortly thereafter. In the meantime, we hope that this preview of the album artwork will whet your appetites.
