Peak Vinyl LP:Single LP on metallic blue vinyl with22.75" x 33" folded newsprint poster. Full album download included.

Written, arranged, and produced by bandleader/songwriterM.C. Taylor, the album is the follow-up to 2019s critically acclaimed releaseTerms of Surrender, which has been nominated for a2021 Grammy Awardfor Best Americana Album.
Quietly Blowing Itis an intimate and introspective offering that finds Taylor ruminating on themes of growing up, alienation, obligation, hope, purpose, family, class, self-discovery, healing, and rebuilding, fashioned with impressionistic tones. He says the record feels like the most personal album that Ive made because Im not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself. Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same.

As with most Hiss records, Taylor has recruited a slew of accomplished musicians to help bring his sweeping folk-rock compositions to life, including regularsJosh Kaufman(Bonny Light Horseman, Bon Iver),Matt McCaughan(Bon Iver, Flock of Dimes),Matt Douglas(The Mountain Goats) &James Wallace(William Tyler Band, Mount Moriah).
