Micah P. Hinson
…And The Gospel Of Progress
(Sketchbook, 2004)
Melancholic debut from the bespectacled Texan with the ashen voice…
Amid the epic alt-country confessions, Micah P. Hinson’s first LP contains moments of such ferocious soul-baring, it’s a wonder that the diminutive Texan made it to the end of the sessions without collapsing into a puddle of pain and shredded nerves. In fact, as Patience ascends to its discordant finale the demons really do threaten to take over once and for all, with the chorus refrain of “And I’m running out of patience / To be fucking with this now”, beginning to reverberate with unnerving, crazed abandon. But Hinson’s searingly intimate roars of despair – fuelled by memories of a chemically enhanced past and delivered in a deep, dusty drawl that belies his 22-years – are balanced by his penchant for swinging acoustic ballads topped with gracefully lulling melodies. As You Can See, The Day Texas Sank To The Bottom of The Sea and Don’t You Forget (Part 1 & 2) are all imbued with a sense of hope that, at least momentarily, allows Hinson to stumble out of darkness. Intoxicating.
