If Leonard Cohen is the man with the golden voice, Daughn Gibson is the man with evil stuck in his throat. His deep crooning vocals drip with a restrained passion that causes every syllable to swirl around with darkness and contemplation. Gibson's music is always a force striking your speakers, a sentiment echoed by his live performance where he drives the microphone stand into the ground over and over, beating the melody home. Now we have two new offerings as a preview of Gibson's first LP release on Sub Pop records. Both new tracks are dynamic examples of how Gibson is a true original and not a bit complacent, as the songs demonstrate a fuller sound and signal great growth for one of the more interesting songwriters we have today.
