Boduf Songs / Lion Devours The Sun

Kranky

MATTHEW SWEET is an alchemist, having developed the powers to mysteriously transform a minimal palette of common musical elements into something extraordinary. While his work contains references to psychedelia and folk musics, it fits comfortably in neither category. His understated vocals are delivered not as a declamation, but rather as a muted invitation to listen to his tales of the failing human condition. Nine tracks.
