Hiss Golden Messenger, who dip a twig down into ontological anthills, nibbling at the crawling wisdom they pull up and spitting it out with sticky, effervescent insight. Born from under-sung S.F. great The Court and Spark, this now bicoastal aggregate is like a blue-eyed answer to Niyabinghi music, observing, "The truth is that we're here and then we're gone," yet still knotting their talented fingers into something celestial, folkloric and deep paired with a sparkling, enormously easy to like musical feel that draws freely from '60s English folk, Meddle era Pink Floyd, Jamaican strains, Winwood-esque pastoral jazz-rock and more.
