With the release of his critically acclaimed debut, All Hell, the Carlisle, PA-based Daughn Gibson made quite an impression as an artist to pay attention to — his moody debut used scratchy Americana samples, backed by his deep, brooding baritone to create a sound that was eerie and hauntingly unique as it mixed electronica with country music.  His sophomore effort and Sub Pop Records debut, Me Moan, which like his previous effort was release to critical praise, still employs the use of scratchy, ghost-like samples to eerie effect. 

"Phantom Rider," the latest single and video off Gibson's exceptional album is one of my favorite tracks off the album. It employs Gibson's deep, crooning baritone over icily swirling and howling electronics, looped finger snaps, bits of twangy guitar, and possesses a subtle nod to house music. Lyrically, the song (much like most of the material off the album) focuses on the ghosts that seem to linger  -- the regrets, desires, and losses that fill our lives. (Shot in a gorgeous, noir-ish black and white, the video has Gibson moving about in a smoky room, as a skull and then a skeleton is projected on to him. It's a creepy effect.) 

Sonically, Gibson's work makes a connection between electro pop, country music, alt country and goth music in a way that makes his sound among the most unique and haunting I've come across in quite some time.

Daughn Gibson - "Phantom Rider"

The eerie and sexy latest artistic statement from my heartthrob of 2013, the awesome Daughn Gibson. In the new video his face keeps transforming into a leering skull - it's like a ghoulish Francis Bacon painting come to life. And you get glimpses of him without his shirt.

Daughn Gibson - The Pisgee Nest

   - I just finished listening to Daughn Gibson's new LP Me Moan and my innitial reaction to the album is that it is a trip. The highlights for me had to be 'The Pisgee Nest' and the he pronounces the line run away from the campfire on the track 'Franco'. I also like the Twin Peaks-esc sound of that track and others over the course of the album. I am not sure this one of the best albums of 2013 but I have to think it is one of the more original. Daughn Gibson is a country crooner but instead of crooning over hillbilly music he does it over electronic clicks and washes. There is no one else making this kind of music, so its nice to hear an artist breaking the mold like Gibson does. I also think I need to start pronouncing words like he does, because it sounds like way more fun. 

For more info on the album head over to his SubPop artists page here. Me Moan is out now. if you are looking for something a bit different its worth a listen.
