18, Carne Farce Camisole - The Healthy Boy & The Badass Motherfuckers (Kythibong)
The excellent Kythibong label brought us many great things during 2013 and one of the best was this, a simmering monster of growling bluesy folk, featuring the menacing vocals of The Healthy Boy - somewhere between Nick Cave and Jacques Brel in a pact with Satan - and the brooding musicianship of the Motherfuckers, from Nantes. This was nothing like what I expected on seeing the band's name and a perpetual unearthing of surprises and wonderful destruction of expectations is a feature throughout the collection. Get it on vinyl from here.
Remember: nine days left to vote in the festive fifty. Tell us your three favourite tracks of the year here.
