Albums of 2012 - 20. Daughn Gibson - All Hell

20. DAUGHN GIBSON - ALL HELL

A new kind of style if you will. It's country music mixed with lo-fi and sometimes Daughn digs out the electronic production. Get's murky and stuff, but overall it's rather polished; this antithesis serves this debut well. It takes a good few risks and has a plethora of characters baked in wit, most notably "Ray:"

My first child stumbled home
And woke me up when he hit the floor
He looked like a movie star
But he grew up to be totally worthless

Ray, let's go
Towards the waves
Follow me
And knock this off

Daughn Gibson is a good one to watch. I'm writing this with a bit of hindsight in 2013, and his second album didn't match the heights of All Hell,  but I'll be tracking him closely in the future and so should you, you cunt.
