Brooklyn Vegan premieres "Unseen Forces and How to Use Them" by Boduf Songs Posted 23 Sep 2019


This morning, Brooklyn Vegan premiered "Unseen Forces and How to Use Them," the second single from Boduf Songs' forthcoming album, Abyss Versions (out October 4 on Orindal).

From writer Andrew Sacher:

"Like “Gimme Vortex,” it’s an atmospheric, slowcore-ish song, but even more so than the previous single, it’s got creepy melodies that are more similar to certain metal bands or horror film scores than you might expect when you hear the term “slowcore.” It also makes use of what is apparently a very old drum machine."

Announcing Dreamin' by Friendship Posted 11 Sep 2019


Dreamin' is Philly alt-country band Friendship's long-awaited follow-up up their 2017 Orindal Records debut, Shock Out of Season. Dreamin' will be released on vinyl, CD & digital formats on November 8. You can pre-order your copy here.

Dreamin' was recorded to tape in July last year with the help of The Low Anthem’s Jeff Prystowsky. The band moved away from the inclusion of digitally programmed drums and Rhodes piano for Dreamin’, opting instead for a warmer, more organic aesthetic and a starker performance. Most of the songs on Dreamin’ took shape while Dan Wriggins (vocals and guitar) and Mike Cormier (drums) worked and lived as groundskeepers at a private estate in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, frequently driving into Philadelphia for shows and friends. The record is set both in the country and the city – community, peacefulness, and isolation can all be heard and felt throughout the superb new record.

This morning, GoldFlakePaint premiered Dreamin's first single, "Clairvoyant." Here's some of what GoldFlakePaint's Tom Johnson had to say:

"Led by Dan Wriggins charred, plaintive voice, a gentle husk at the band’s core, Friendship comes gently alive by its surrounding players: Mike Cormier’s steady drums, the tender playing of Peter Gill, Evangeline Krajewski, and Jon Samuels who brew these songs alive in ways learned and felt, stirred from somewhere deep within.

"(‘Clairvoyant’) lingers with the band’s deep-rooted sadness gently illuminated by the playful brightness at its outer edges."

You can listen to "Clairvoyant" & read the full article now on GoldFlakePaint.


Announcing Abyss Versions by Boduf Songs Posted 04 Sep 2019


“Unsettling and gorgeous...” - All Music Guide
"Boduf Songs makes some of the duskiest, autumnal and beautiful loner psychedelia." - Stereogum
“Boduf Songs has always been a space for contemplation.” - Pitchfork

Boduf Songs’ seventh album and first on Orindal Records marks the Ohio-via-Southampton home recording project’s most detailed production yet, voyaging into deeper recesses than ever before. Abyss Versions will see the light of day on October 4, 2019.

Mat Sweet, the solitary figure behind Boduf Songs, has spent the better part of fifteen years cultivating an idiosyncratic strain of quiet menace, augmenting library-hushed vocals and brooding guitars with psychedelic flourishes from processed loops, field recordings, and distant, subliminal atmospheres.

Subtly acknowledging Boduf Songs’ beginnings, Abyss Versions echoes motifs from the first Boduf Songs album (2005’s Boduf Songs on Kranky Records), forming its own secret, circular path, encapsulating the journey from there to here. Sweet’s background in doom metal still seeps into the quiet, pensive world of Boduf Songs via mood and tone, balanced by shades of the fingerpicking mysticism of his first four albums. As always, the music of Boduf Songs is steeped in a palpable sense of darkness and dread, offset by a gorgeous and discreet sonic beauty. There is much prettiness here, albeit within an inescapably unsettling frame.

Abyss Versions will be released on vinyl & digital formats on October 4. The vinyl edition is available in three color variations: Abyss black (200 copies), Nothingness clear transparent (200 copies), & Blueberry Ice Cream Sundae purple transparent (100 copies). Pre-order your copy HERE.

"Gimme Vortex," the lead-off track from Abyss Versions, is now streaming on all digital platforms.
