Paradise of Bachelors will officially release Hiss Golden Messenger’s masterful Poor Moon LP on the first of November, el Día de los Muertos. The first fully electric ensemble recording since 2010’s highly limited Root Work, Poor Moon represents both an elaboration and inversion of previous HGM efforts, proposing an America at perpetual sundown, wracked by devotion, wrecked by celebration. We are very proud of this album, and we hope that you will enjoy it.
