Split 7''
Merge
2014
Rating: 8 pretty tigers out of 10
The Merge subscription series keeps on rollin' - this time with Hiss Golden Messenger and Matt Suggs. The HGM offering, "Rock Holy," is an upbeat track with MC Taylor's vocals dominating the scene as per usual. The better of the two songs is Sugg's "This Is My Light," reminding me of why I listened so obsessively to his album from 2000 "Golden Days Before They End." The former Butterglory frontman has a way of writing new indie pop songs that sound like late sixties / early seventies AM gold classics. This track is actually very upbeat for him, and way too short...it's been over ten years since he released a new record, hopefully this is a sign of things to come?
