Description:How Shadows Chase The Balance is an album by Boduf Songs, released in 2008. The album is a singer-songwriter CD. - .. BALANCE
This 2008 album is a further step away from the "folk" label, which never seemed all that appropriate to Mathew's work in any case. If you record solo w/ an acoustic guitar the description is somewhat inevitable. But the results might more rightly be construed as "acoustic death metal" considering the themes of death, alienation, fear, hatred & isolation that are his forte, as well as his affinity for gothic imagery.
"How Shadows Chase The Balance" is a captivating CD release by Boduf Songs, brought to you by the renowned label Kranky / Cargo. This album showcases Mat Sweet?s (the mind behind Boduf Songs) signature blend of haunting folk melodies and subtle electronic textures, creating an introspective soundscape that lingers long after listening. With poetic lyrics and minimalist arrangements, "How Shadows Chase The Balance" invites listeners into a world where darkness and beauty coexist in delicate balance. Boduf Songs has earned critical acclaim for his unique approach to songwriting, with previous releases like "Lion Devours the Sun" establishing him as a significant figure in experimental folk music circles. Kranky is an influential independent record label based in Chicago, known for its commitment to innovative artists across ambient, post-rock, and experimental genres. Since its founding in 1993, Kranky has been home to groundbreaking acts such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Tim Hecker. Distributed through Cargo Records?a respected name in European music distribution?this partnership ensures high-quality releases reach discerning listeners worldwide.
