'Red Rose Nantahala' HERE
'I've Got A Name For The
Unborn Child' HERE
“Mystical country. An
eerie yellowing photograph” David
Bowie
“…A thing of gentle charm
& unmistakable cosmic American beauty. It is, for those of us who delight
in the likes of Iron & Wine, our first contact with a new & wonderful
songwriter” The Independent
“Poor Moon is a fantastic,
on-repeat record that recalls the aesthetic risks and rewards of the best stuff
produced by Laurel Canyon’s singer-songwriters and, decades later, the
stylistically daring musicians associated with New Weird America" Pitchfork (7.8)
'Haw' - released 8th April
on Paradise Of Bachelors - is an album of eleven songs about family, faith, and
an ill-prophesied future, an artifact almost as archaic, lovely and seldom
heard today as directional commands for beasts of burden. M.C. Taylor, who
wrote these songs, once lived hard by the river Haw with his wife Abigail and
their son Elijah—Well I come from the bottom of the river Haw, he
sings—but he doesn’t live there anymore. Having followed the slipstream to the
relative bustle of nearby Durham, North Carolina, he has composed a new clutch
of tunes that conjure the half-remembered dreams of peace promised by our
pasts.
