Grammy-nominated band Hiss Golden Messenger release the brand-new track “Shinbone” from their upcoming new album Jump for Joy (out August 25th via Merge Records).

“Shinbone” is about taking chances to move forward, especially if what you have been doing prior has not had a positive result. As Hiss Golden Messenger bandleader, singer and songwriter M.C. Taylor explains, “I wrote this tune after abruptly coming out of a prolonged depression. As anyone that struggles with depression knows, sometimes you just snap out of it for no reason that you can discern. This song contains what I think may be one of the mission statements of Jump for Joy, namely: If you take the big gamble and lose it all, can you survive with whatever’s left? That’s the question a lot of us are asking ourselves.” Listen to the inspiring track HERE.

Jump for Joy is the most optimistic and groove-filled album in the Hiss Golden Messenger canon. Musically, lyrically, and conceptually, the songs form a cohesive and autobiographical narrative. Taylor created a character to represent himself through the various experiences he has had through his life in music, from the very beginning to the present day. There is a joyful ambience that permeates the record and offers a sense of freedom in the music. Taylor and fellow musicians Chris Boerner (guitar), Alex Bingham (bass), Nick Falk (drums) and Sam Fribush (keys) have never sounded better.

Jump for Joy was produced by M.C. Taylor.

Hiss Golden Messenger recently announced an extensive fall tour of North America in support of Jump for Joy. See a full list of dates below.

Jump for Joy is the follow-up to 2021’s critically acclaimed release Quietly Blowing It, which received 4-star reviews in Rolling Stone and American Songwriter along with positive coverage in The New York Times, Associated Press, Relix and more (See Highlights). Taylor was featured on NPR Weekend Edition and the band appeared on CBS Saturday Morning. Hiss Golden Messenger’s 2019 album Terms of Surrender received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album.
