This is the first time I’m hearing Boduf Songs (aka Mat Sweet). From what I can gather Selected Instrumental Works is a stylistic departure from his prior works, which lean more toward a sombre singer-songwriter feeling. His latest album retains a certain melancholy, but does so without vocals (OK… there’s a little singing on here, […]

Pixel Grip – “Percepticide: The Death Of Reality” (2025)
When people find out I write a blog they often ask where I find new, or at least new-to-me music. The answer is sort of a generically disappointing “everywhere”.

I picked up the soundtrack record last […]
