To help you get into a haunted Halloween mood, here's a couple of videos from Boduf Songs, they create some of the most deliciously beautiful and haunting music around. They have released a new album this past summer (9/6) where the above track, "I'm Going To Leave You and Never Come Back" from the album "This Alone Above All Else In Spite Of Everything" originates. Also, check out the video below "Pitiful Shadown Engulfed in Darkness" from their previous album, "How Shadows Chase The Balance" on Kranky, 2008. Pitiful Shadow Engulfed [...]

Mat Sweet's Boduf Songs is an act that has seemingly undergone very little evolution in its half-decade existence. Still ostensibly a one-man band, still recorded largely in Sweet's own studio/bedroom, still churning out long, slow-burning songs that focus as much on atmosphere as they do on melodies, it'd be easy to criticise Sweet for a lack of ambition that has seen him occupy a quiet, comfortable niche and expand very little beyond. It'd be an easy, in many ways true, and in many ways a fair criticism, though one that almost wilfully misses the point [...]

Boduf Songs is a rather gloomy chum, no? Well, it's not that you would or should expect anything else from one of the few artists keeping the slowcore aesthetic of Bedhead and Low alive in the time of cholera and chillwave. More importantly than the color of Mathew Sweet's (that's one 't') mood ring is the moments of truly arresting, visceral dark melodicism found within his latest, T his Alone Above All Else in Spite of Everything . Sparsely arranged toy pianos, light and balmy electronic noise samples, and gigantic sonic space are the cornerstones, for the [...]

Der Sommer macht sich langsam vom Acker und der Herbst hält Einzug. Höchste Zeit also, sich für die bevorstehenden Winterabende ein, zwei Singer/Songwriter ins Haus zu holen. Wir legen euch Boduf Songs ans Herz. Unter dem Namen Boduf Songs nimmt Mat Sweet seit 2005 betörend verstörende Platten auf. Seine Songs, die er mit Hilfe eines einzigen Mikrofons zuhause im stillen Kämmerchen einspielt, flackern wie vergessene Kerzen in einem dunklen, verlassenen Raum. Auch auf "This Alone Above All Else In Spite Of Everything" [...]

Illustration by Mike Are you having fun yet? I know I am! nobleybones mixtape yesterday & an itty ari interwebs today, but whoa-ho-ho-ho, we ain't done yet! Not even remotely! We got more mixtapes coming at you. I sure hope you cleared off a little room on your iPod, iPhone, iTouch, or, to be more topical iPad! Speaking of the iPad. I saw a photo yesterday, a photo from Saturday's launch of the iPad that struck me as so powerful, so telling, [...]
[player] boduf songs - quiet when group ( how shadows chase the balance )

Boduf Songs is Mat Sweet, a young man from Southampton, England who makes dark, psych tinged, textured folk music.To my ears he sounds like a moodier version of the Elliott Smith of "Needle In The Hay" or "Roman Candle" crossed perhaps with Charalambides or James Yorkston played at half speed. Boduf Songs eponymous debut album was released on the Kranky label in 2005 after the label came across a CD-R of home recorded demos made by Sweet and were so blown away, decided to release the demos untouched, without any re-recordings. Two albums [...]

it goes a little something like this: my aim with the label is to release music by friends and people whose art i feel strongly about and to share these sounds with those around the world who need them... those who will listen and draw closer. and if that's not the perfect bloody reason to start a [...]
Have you guys checked out the redesigned Pitchfork yet? It's pretty sweet (and long overdue), I must say. Go have a look around, while you're there be sure to click on an artist name and view the artist pages. Good stuff. And they're still working on everything, so be a bit patient and be sure to check back in the near future. One of the current videos featured on the Pitchfork TV portion of the new site is the video posted above, for the song "Quiet When Group" by Boduf Songs . You [...]

Μόλις τώρα συνειδητοποιώ ότι είδα τρεις ταινίες χθες, και όχι τέσσερις.. Τόσες τραγωδίες, τόσα δράματα, τόσοι πόλεμοι, τόση φτώχεια, τόση αρώστεια.. πότε θα βγει μια ταινία για το Αλτσχάιμερ να'ρθω να ταυτιστώ ο σινεφίλ? 1.

Moody, blacker than black slowcore folk superstar Boduf Songs , fresh from dropping How Shadows Chase the Balance on the flawless Kranky label, will bring joy to all the girls and boys this fall in his first national tour. Since it's his first one, be nice ya'll! The tour includes two New York shows and a shit-ton of art galleries. The jaunt across the upper midwest and northeast also includes some on-air playin' and spitballin' on Pittsburgh's low power but pretty darn good WPTS before his performance later that night on Nov. 19th.

Boduf Songs is pure duisternis, ellende en melancholie. Mathew Sweet, zoals Boduf Songs door zijn moeder genoemd wordt, bracht al eerder twee verdoemd (pun intended) mooie platen uit en komt nu met nummer drie, getiteld How Shadows Chase the Balance . Al wie Afscheid van een vriend van Clouseau een 'triestig' nummer vindt, kan zich best onthouden, Boduf Song is pure hardcore zwartheid. Boduf Songs - Puke A Pitch Black Rainbow To The Sun (uit Boduf Songs , 2005) Boduf Songs - 27th Raven's Head (uit Lion [...]
