Premiere: Hiss Golden Messenger Mixtape (Le Guess Who? Edition)
Le Guess Who? May Day is Saturday May 24 in Utrecht, Netherlands
Apr 16, 2014 Le Guess Who? May Day 2014
Le Guess Who’s annual May Day event goes down on Saturday, May 24 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Ahead of that, we’re featuring mixtapes from a few of the artists performing. Why? Because we love Le Guess Who. And mixtapes. The first in our series comes from Hiss Golden Messenger.
“These selections are going to be familiar to my friends, because they’re songs I reference a lot,” says Mike, “MC” Taylor. “They each in their own way touch on certain things that I love about music—rhythm, desperation and suffering, redemption and love. I’ve spent a lot of time with each of these tunes. And this may be the only place that Curtis and Bocephus ever rub shoulders.”
Take a listen to Hiss Golden Messenger’s tape below. Are you going to be in the Netherlands in May? Be sure to grab your ticket to the festival here.

Literally only one band here that is on the Le Guess Who Lineup that is posted on the website.
Either you know something we don’t or you’re full of shit.
