NEW ALBUM OUT 8 SEPTEMBER VIA FULL TIME HOBBY
FULL UK & EUROPEAN TOUR IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER
Micah P. Hinson has shared the video for new track ‘Oh, Spaceman’, taken from his new album ‘Presents The Holy Strangers’, out on Full Time Hobby on 8 September. The video was flimed live at Spazio Aereo in Venice, Italy

About the song, Micah said “It was the first song I wrote for my boy, Wiley Tex, after he was born, and the only song I played for about half a year after his birth. It is the only song where the melody and words came before sitting behind a guitar. Which is not a way I’ve ever written.”

Micah P. Hinson has described his new album as a “modern folk opera”. Telling the story of a war time family, going from birth to love, to marriage and children, to war and betrayal, murder to suicide – spanning all of the strange and glorious places life can lead. We follow their story, we see their decisions, we see their faults and their beauty. We live with them, we die with them.
Two years in the making, Micah wrote and recorded ‘The Holy Strangers’ in Denison, Texas, incorporating ancient reel to reels, analogue keyboards, old Tascam and Yamaha desks. The recording only entered the digital realm once pre-mastering took place.
Split across two pieces of the vinyl, the 14 tracks which make up The Holy Strangers are at times sparse and haunting; at other times luscious, maybe even euphoric. From the Johnny Cash-style country single “Lover’s Lane,” to the album’s broad, spoken-word centrepiece ‘Micah Book One’.
The Holy Strangers covers a lot of ground over the course of its hour-long running time, appealing to both long-time fans and new ones alike.
‘Micah P. Hinson Presents The Holy Strangers’ is released 8th September 2017 on Full Time Hobby. Micah will be touring Europe throughout September,  October and November with a full band.
