Out Of The Box On Sunday XXX

All the Wolves That I ve Known by Matt Bauer

Sadcore folk music. Matt Bauer (website) makes pitch black music founded on just his voice and banjo-playing. From that point on, this music is built layer after layer of melodramatic gloom in the form of brilliantly orchestrated folk and country music. Matt's voice is incredible in it's trembling and conveying sentiments of sheer melancholy, sometimes accompanied by the equally fragile voice of Jolie Holland, which results in an incredible contrast of duetting male/female voices. I've been sitting on writing a review about this since its release, and would like to mention that this is probably my favorite record released this year.

outside the box on sunday

every sunday you can find something entirely different, here. cause whoever you are, you should not confine yourself to the music coming out of a single musicscene, no matter how assorted it is on itself. others are as well. get into it!

 listen to Fall of Cherry Blossom in Long Shadows of Light by Boduf Songs

Boduf Songs makes some of the most haunting music my ears have ever experienced. I got to know this band live and it immediately piqued my interrest in them/him (it's more a one-man project), not declining an ounce ever since. this record brings dark and atmospheric folk music, usually consisting out of acoustic instruments and low whispering vocals, with occasional electronic noise (litterally noise) or other instrumentation to add to the aforementioned atmosphere.
