The Vile Stuff by Richard Dawson
“Very late to this, but last week I heard Richard Dawson for the first time and now I’m barely listening to anything else. This, from his most recent album, somehow simultaneously calls to mind Mike Waterson, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Sleaford Mods.”

Richard Dawson - The Vile Stuff . As cracking a sinister lament as you're likely to hear today.
Like a Geordie Jeff Mangum channeling Sun Kil Moon fighting with Slint. Or just wonderful. Merry Christmas.
