Hiss Golden Messenger Shares ‘Cat’s Eye Blue’ Single

Hiss Golden Messenger unveiled “Cat’s Eye Blue,” the second single from the project’s forthcoming studio album. Terms Of Surrender is due on Merge Records September 20.

“‘Cat’s Eye Blue’ is a song about anxiety. And about fathers. How to express ourselves in real terms,” said Hiss Golden Messenger mastermind M.C. Taylor in a statement. “How to cut the poison out to avoid further harm. ‘Is this wicked word too bad to be spoken? You let the heart attack in. One taste and it’s broken.’ I sing about fathers–my own, specifically–because I almost lost mine during the writing of this record. He’s still here–I hear him outside playing with my kids right now–but I’ve been thinking about him a lot this past year.”

Hiss Golden Messenger will support Terms Of Surrender with an extensive fall tour.
