Lion Devours the Sun

Hauntingly beautiful music that is oft mistakenly labeled "folk." This is something darker, something much more sinister, and Mat Sweet's songwriting muse dives into the troubled waters of a tormented soul and the mysterious forests of the mind. It's an album best experienced whole, alone, in a dark room. This is the best record of the year, period. Joseph Kyle, MundaneSounds.com, 2006

I really wanted to like this but there were too many arpeggios and not enough ideas. Frances Morgan, Plan B magazine, 2006

Boduf Songs

These morose incantations, these burnished prayers were wrought with great care and intelligence – emotional, musical, and dare I say spiritual. What spirits are invoked I don’t know, but I imagine they are as riveted as I am to these haunted musings. 9/10 Sal Addays, foxydigitalis.com, 2005

However, there is too little on this album to prove the skills of the composer. Piero Scaruffi, scaruffi.com 2005
