Born in Memphis in 1981 but raised in Texas, Micah P Hinson didn't initially understand his uniqueness. For one thing, he is of Chickasaw descent, a Native American tribe known for being particularly fierce warriors. For another, his family belonged to The Church of Christ, which is, as he explains it, "one of the newest and the strictest and the most bizarre sects of Christianity."

As a teen, Hinson rejected his religious background and instead turned to music for inspiration, listening to industrial and alternative acts such as Skinny Puppy, My Bloody Valentine, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Along with his older brother, he began playing the electric guitar, writing songs that reflected those musical influences. At his brother's suggestion, though, Hinson began playing acoustic guitar, although he retained his edge - a trait that remains one of his music's most distinctive qualities to this day. His first album was released in 2004 on a UK based label, followed by 10 more. He has spent his time between Europe & the USA ever since.

After a period of profound personal and artistic transformation, Micah P. Hinson returns to thrill his audience with his latest album "The Tomorrow Man", a collection of new songs written in Spain and in Texas. This is his second collaboration with the Italian producer & guitarist Alessandro 'Asso' Stefana after his last album "I Lie to You". They are all new compositions, with the exception of the long lost country classic 'The Last Train To Texas', and all written from his present and current times. They are landmark songs in his life, he feels, stating, 'I have been searching for these songs my entire life. I've been on a lifelong voyage to find the perfect place where truth and understanding live, and thrive, in the forefront of my mind and my songs. I have found this place, and will be chasing this beast till my last days.'

Micah P. Hinson & The Gospel Of Progress - 2025 Reissue

TALITRES

Reissue of Micah P Hinson's debut album, pressed on limited white double vinyl.

Here's what we said about the album first time around:
'Astonishing album from 22 year old Texan Micah P Hinson. 13 tracks of heartfelt and dark dreamy Americana that comes on like Johnny Cash or maybe Nick Cave fronting a downbeat Lambchop. Add to this mix the fact his friends the Earlies have done the production, then you get an idea of the epic soundscape that is covered here. A fabulous country noir album that for sure is going to be one of the albums of the year.'

I Lie To You

Ponderosa

Born into a strict fundamentalist Christian household in sinful Memphis and growing up in evangelist Abilene in Texas, Micah P Hinson has experimented with music and narcotics, suffered the seduction and the abandon of a femme fatale, served a brief stint in the local jail, known failure, bankruptcy, drug addiction and rehab - all before the age of 20

His debut was recorded in the winter of 2003 with assistance from Texas chamber pop collective The Earlies, followed by three albums of original material and one all-covers album. In 2011, a near-fatal car crash paralyzed his arms for months. He spent his recovery time listening to some demos he'd made before the crash. The material eventually culminated in the darkest and most intensely personal collection of songs from him thus far and garnered widespread critical acclaim. (Micah P. Hinson & The Nothing).

Since then, each record is a final confrontation with himself, each song shakes with danger. I Lie To You, the new Micah P. Hinson album, comes from five days and five nights of recording in Irpinia, South Italy, with production by Alessandro Asso Stefana (PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, Vinicio Capossela). Accompanying Micah and Asso are Raffaele Tiseo's celestial strings, Zeno De Rossi metaphysic drumming and the double bass gentleman Greg Cohen. On this new album he sings, with his weathered, husky, prophet-like voice, eleven tales of love, loss and regret, which once again reveal his heart as an artist laid bare.

Presents The Holy Strangers

Full Time Hobby

Micah P. Hinson’s new album “Presents The Holy Strangers” is described by the artist as being 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 And The Nothing

Talitres

Micah P. Hinson was born in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, into a strict Christian fundamentalist household. He began to experiment with music upon moving to Abilene, Texas in his teens. In the relative isolation of this town, he became immersed in the local music scene. In 2003, he teamed up with the Texas collective the Earlies which provided a lush backdrop for Hinson’s winsome tales of love, loss and regret, before releasing solo albums for Sketchbook, Jade Tee and Full Time Hobby. 'Micah P. Hinson and the Nothing', his first release on Talitres, is a collection of songs Micah wrote before a terrible van accident he had on the Spanish highway in 2011.

Unsure if or when his arms would ever work properly again, Micah began listening to demos he has made before he went on that Spanish trip. The songs took a different light and he began sending them off to people around the world (The Twilight Sad, his Belgium Quartet, his Texan side-kick, T. Nicholas Phelps) and with their help he began to create a record without the use of his arms. Soon after this, Micah was invited to go and record in Santander, Espana, at Moon River Studio. For two weeks and two days, Fernando 'Mac' and Micah realized what was to become "Micah P. Hinson and The Nothing", working with an astounding array of local musicians, sitting behind the trap set, standing beside the upright bass, holding a viola, or tumbling away the tympani.
