Albums of the Decade - 47. Tyler Childers - Purgatory (2017)

47. TYLER CHILDERS - PURGATORY (2017) 

Modern hillbilly getting high, drinking moonshine, growing a beard, trying to call his girl, but getting a shot instead. This was a breakthrough album for this artist who represents a modern kind of country; Americana - a very rich, strong flavor in the mouth kind. The new America:

hipster

• New Age traveler.
• beatnik.
• bohemian.
• free spirit.
• freethinker.
• liberal

And that's the review.

Records of 2014 - 45. Hiss Golden Messenger - Lateness of Dancers

45. HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER - LATENESS OF DANCERS

45 is one of my favourite numbers. It's a Brimful of Asha. It's a bar in Taipei. Wasn't Winehouse 45? 45 screams out rock & roll to me. 45 is the amount of times I've gone to the bathroom in winter. It's the number of times if I high-fived you nine times. 45 deserves a good standing for this band. They're so good.

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.
