Boduf Songs and Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Two albums for the dark, late night, bourbon-sipping hours. I don't know much about Boduf Songs, but I think I got this album--"How Shadows Chase the Balance"--from Radiobutt. It reminds me of Crescent, this guy sings in that kind of hushed whisper way, but he has more melodic range to his voice. I like the first line of the first song, "all of my heroes died the same day..."

I also really like BPB's "Master and Everyone". Been kind of going through his pretty large body of work over time and this is the one that has stuck most with me, the most consistent, dark, beautiful. But I also like "I see a darkness", great title.
