Boduf Songs: "Quiet When Group" (Video)

Boduf Songs' music is generally spooky, so this video for "Quiet When Group" featuring main man Mat Sweet with Heath Ledger's joker makeup and images of dark stuff (like spiders, and a person being tied up in red yarn (?)) would seem like a downer for other bands, but fits Boduf Songs imagery and vibe. The song is very Elliot Smith-like--in that Sweet's voice is barely above a whisper, and the arrangement is sparse than a desert.

"Quiet When Group" is on Boduf Songs' How Shadows Chase, which is out now via Kranky. [Pitchfork]
