Hinson: “Truly, a gospel of redemption to believe in” – Uncut //  “An astonishing debut of country noir” – NME  //  “Remarkable beauty” – Mojo  //  “Up there with Bob Dylan” – London Times  //  MICAH P. HINSON’s first release for Jade Tree harkens back to a stripped-down, self-professed “lost” period for the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. Hailing from Abilene, Texas, Hinson’s introductory EP, The Baby & the Satellite, animates the emptiness of backcountry roads and late-teenage displacement. Hinson’s distinct brand of country-noir is delivered over hushed vocals and subdued guitars, shaded by fragments of Dylan’s storytelling and Bill Callahan’s (Smog) ability to tap into the darker emotions of real life. The Baby & the Satellite is an endearing journey through Hinson’s fractured past, searching for signs of hope in the somber halls of a downtrodden Middle America. Originally released in the UK 20 June 2005 (Sketchbook Records).
