Hiss Golden Messenger shares new single, "Shaky Eyes"

"Shaky Eyes" follows lead single "In The Middle Of It", and serves as an ode to Taylor's origins in California, as the newest taster of a collection of songs which explore the dark comedy of living in America in 2026.

Speaking about the song, Taylor explains: “Do we stick with the sure bet? Or, do we gamble on possibility, never knowing how winning is apt to change things we never even considered? Or: Do we drift in the in-between? I grew up in California and big western skies are something that color my dreams still. They make me feel small and ambiguous, and they feel like home. This song is indebted—in title if nothing else—to Lou Mathews' novel Shaky Town, a piece of work that feels Los Angeles, the Southland, deeply and lovingly. This tune was also written in Santa Fe under a neon mescal moon.”
