16. Twin Temple – “Twin Temple (Bring You Their Signature Sound.... Satanic Doo....”

By a country mile, the most intriguing and utter confounding album on this list. As it says on the tin this is highly authentic fifties Doo-wop that tells tales of satanic rituals and praises his dark lord. It sounds like Amy Winehouse sound-tracking Rosemary’s Baby, think Back to Black Mass. The music is brilliant, her vocals are utterly mesmeric and the lyrics are evil as fuck. It is like someone has taken Behemoth’s lyric sheet and given it to the Shangri-La’s. But it works, it bloody works. This is not a novelty that you listen to once, the songs, the vibe and the vocals are extraordinary and make you come back to it again and again. A horned devil in sheep’s clothing. Defies description (even though I have tried) but is still utterly utterly wonderful. If you listen to one album on this list make it this.
