Micah P Hinson And The Pioneer Saboteurs' is the 4th full album by Abilene, Texas-based singer-songwriter Micah P Hinson. Drenched in strings and desolation and inspired by the political changes in his native America, it's Hinson's most ambitious, fullest, grandest and most punishing recording yet, with instrumental beauty and words of brutal wisdom and bewilderment. "The Pioneer Saboteurs are a set of individuals with their hearts set to rabid", says Hinson. Walt Whitman's poem "Pioneers! O Pioneers!" provided the inspiration, but America provided the context. Says Micah: "I tried to make sense of everything that's happening. the death of the American dream". The album was recorded in Hinson's home, a sleepy town full of gun-toting men beneath wide Western skies, and also in New York with T. Nicholas Phelps. Strings were recorded in a canyon in Colorado and also in small apartments in Zaragoza, Spain. Eric Bachmann (Archers Of Loaf) arranged the strings. The players include members of Techanko, Devotcha, Crooked Fingers, and other sundry folks. The album was mixed in Argyle, Texas with Matt Pence (Centro-matic), and mastered in Nashville by guys who cut their teeth working on Bob Dylan and Stax records. "I had a hell of a team," says Micah. Australian edition includes 2 exclusive bonus tracks!
