The brilliant Hiss Golden Messenger (aka M.C. Taylor) will release Lateness of Dancers, his fifth studio album, on September 9 in the US and September 18 worldwide on Merge Records.

Known for expertly weaving Americana, psychedelia, blues and folk into sparse, yet gripping tales, the new record is set to be a more direct, more confident affair. The record takes its name from a Eudora Welty story and is a record about self-discovery and self-knowledge, and how impossible it is to outsmart yourself.

The first track to air from the record is the sublime Saturday’s Song.

Have a listen. Pre-order the album here.
