New Hiss Golden Messenger album 'Terms of Surrender' - "searching for hope"

The 11th album by the folk-rock band Hiss Golden Messenger is "a fantastic sounding record, which doesn’t appear to be solely the result of the playing or the production" the Guardian says in review. "The mixes are uniformly fantastic, with electric guitar foregrounded, but not so much it swamps anything, and the folkier elements are incorporated in such a way that they don’t stop the record sounding contemporary". Rolling Stone says the album "follows [a] sweetly humane vibe, balancing Taylor’s feelings of depression and doubt with gorgeously homespun music and a sense of family as guiding light in difficult moments".
