Lifted from his highly acclaimed album on Sub Pop, Me Moan, Daughn Gibson has revealed a new video for ‘Phantom Rider’ to round off his breakthrough year.
We recently described Gibson as having a complex and mushy Johnny Cash style voice “like chewing tobacco and bitter Moxie…”
We listened to ‘Phantom Rider’ directed by Ferry Gouw. Here’s what we thought:
Phantom Rider is a haunted Headless Horseman of a number. A song of self-mortification. The beat is laced by snakewhipped keys – acid and shaken.
A haunting vocal accompaniment rises mordantly from the darkened ventricles of a discoloured, disorientated morass.
The voice is stark and will cause a sense of growing unease in each listener. It comes as a cry from the depths. As sad and as lonely as a groan from bitumen hellhounds – calling from an asphaltene bitterness…
