Hiss Golden Messenger Meets Spacebomb, out today on vinyl

In March, Spacebomb teamed up with Hiss Golden Messenger to release Hiss Golden Messenger Meets Spacebomb, comprised of “Passing Clouds” and a dub remix of the same song, with all proceeds benefitting Everytown for Gun Safety. Today, the 7″ vinyl is available for sale online and in a record store near you.

Records purchased through our webstore or Bandcamp come with a 4.5×6″ 2-sided Risograph print signed by M.C. Taylor and designed by Spacebomb’s Travis Robertson.

M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger:

I believe gun laws need to change. So I am now committed to performing whatever actions are within my power to push that stone forward. We’ve been told for so long that a change in gun laws is next to impossible. It is not. We’ve been told that the NRA, and the politicians whom they buy, are too powerful. They are not. The young people in Parkland, Florida, have proven that. I am on their side. I am on the side of peace, hope and love, on the side of grieving parents and spouses and co-workers in Parkland and Newtown, in Aurora and Las Vegas. As Sly Stone says, “My only weapon is my pen.” But it’s a mighty weapon indeed that works to bring light to dark places. Signs and wonders. Just a little bit of thunder now.

This song was recorded with the Spacebomb family—a collection of musicians with deep kinship and connection to Hiss Golden Messenger—in Richmond, Virginia, on February 7th, 2018. They love their families and friends in the same ways that I do mine. I was proud and honored to work with them on this song.

All proceeds from “Passing Clouds” and “Passing Clouds Dub” will benefit Everytown, a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities. I urge you to perform your own small actions of peace whenever and wherever you can. We can make the world we want to live in.

No spiritual surrender.

—M.C. Taylor, Durham, NC
