Press Highlights and Reviews

Concerning Seasons of Limbo

We Are Mirrors: "This isn’t a record of barbed intellect. It’s a record of kind, burgeoning wisdom. This album may be called Seasons of Limbo, but Bomethius has never felt more direct and assured." 9.0/10

Goat Palace: "a cycle that slips breezy, open-hearted pop-infused melodies under the weight of confessional, revealing lyrics evocative of lines from an introspective private journal of self-doubt, alienation, and censure. This juxtaposition is arresting, emotionally disorienting at times, and yet feels perfectly normal given what we’ve all just lived through — his shared humanity, familiarity, and intimacy serves as a testament to the craft and honesty that Hodges brings to his task."

Independent Clauses: "It’s simply genius. Treat yourself with Bomethius’s Seasons of Limbo."

Concerning Intimatitudes

“But there’s little question in Intimatitudes: Hodges is Bomethius the speaker, and his grand abstractions are a fig leaf he winks at cartoonishly. He hopes you get the joke. It’s not funny.”
— We Are Mirrors

“Intimatitudes is a swirling Dichterliebe of regrets, heartache, and other species of despair, at once shot through with a sly, sideward wink: the Poet is performing his role, and reveling in the portrayal.”
— Zack Wallmark

Review: Sweet Nothings (By David Mead)

Sweet Nothings is the third official album from Bomethius—alias Jonathan Hodges, presently from Dallas. A multi-instrumentalist who completed a degree in violin performance last year at Southern Methodist University, he produced nearly every sound you’ll hear in these recordings himself…
