About inadiquit
After his breakthrough 2019 release Sweet Nothings, Jonathan Hodges, the solo artist behind Bomethius, pledged to do something different. So, he coaxed Dave Hodges, his uncle and closest family member, into working with him to create a more evolved sound. A longtime writer and amateur composer, Dave lent his nephew not only his taste and expertise, but also the wisdom afforded by the eighteen additional years he’d spent wrestling with the same preoccupations that have fueled Bomethius’ music from the beginning.
The result was Bomethius’ fourth album, a full-length collaboration called inadiquit. At turns excruciatingly tender and raucously explosive, the record takes as its subject the enduring trauma of a troubled upbringing coupled with misguided devotion to toxic religion. These eight tracks represent yet another significant leap for Bomethius in terms of emotional fiber, and production quality.
REVIEWS:
Experimental and masterful ... a showcase for what's to come the Bomethius discography ... the most challenging album he's produced so far." (8.3/10)
— Atwood Magazine
"A relevant piece of art that emphatically deserves your time." — A Diverse Sound
"The definitive work from Bomethius. ... He delivers on his heady concepts, both lyrical and compositional, through a progressive baroque-pop vessel, that's as ambitious as it is humble." (8.5/10) — We Are Mirrors
About Sweet Nothings
Sweet Nothings is the third full-length release from Bomethius, the solo project of Dallas-based multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Jonathan Hodges. Without a doubt his strongest and most mature effort to date, Sweet Nothings draws from Hodges’ classical training to explore a range of styles from blues and jazz to minimalism and chamber rock. Echoing the sounds of Andrew Bird, Elliott Smith, and Randy Newman, this mischievous brand of baroque pop channels the frank, existential audits of Hodges’ alter-ego, a disenchanted young man plagued by alienation and shame.
REVIEWS:
"A folk masterpiece hiding in plain sight ... aesthetically reasoned and agonizingly deep ... a glowing path through the darkness." (10/10)
— Atwood Magazine
"Metaphorical and musical brilliance."
— BuzzMusic
"At once incredibly charming and almost uncomfortably relatable ... records like these can keep us hoping and searching."
— A Diverse Sound
Incredibly beautiful music. (8.5/10)
— The Album Effect
