Hiss Golden Messenger‘s most recent album is 2023’s Jump For Joy, but they’ll look back to 2010’s Bad Debt for a new tour this fall. Frontman M.C. Taylor writes, “Sometime around 2010, I was living in a little hippie enclave outside a town called Pittsboro, North Carolina. At the time I was just sort of stumbling forward—a new father, living in a new place, trying to make sense of new obligations. What came out, after a long sort of meditation—something I wouldn’t have called it that then—was Bad Debt.”

Taylor continues:

I was so enchanted by these recordings that I sequenced them into an album and passed it around to friends. They liked it, so I found a place that would press 100 copies on vinyl, and I sold through those and did it again. It sort of started that way. And then somehow, on some converging path, you ended up here. I love thinking about it that way. So here we are, together.

This fall, I’m going to do a tour during which I play Bad Debt in its entirety. It’s not an anniversary tour. It’s more a ‘me thinking about Bad Debt lately and it feels like it’d be fun to play all the songs together’ tour. As they were conceived, so to speak. So that’s what I’m gonna do. And I’ll play a bunch of other songs, of course.

The solo shows are in the US this fall, and you can see all dates below.

The NYC show is at Brooklyn Made on October 5. Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday, June 28 at 10 AM local, with various presales happening now.
