Such a debut is rare. Matthias Boguth, born in 1996, has been studying at the University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig for three years, has already gained some stage experience as leader of various Bands and projects, but has not yet released an Album before Milk Wood. All the more impressive now is the deep and stringent diversity of production. No doubt Boguth has thought a lot conceptually and compositionally, found like-minded and sensitive musicians and with Joh Weisgerber (alias Monojo) also a producer at his side who has a fine feel for timbres and aesthetics. Together they measure a supposedly familiar Terrain, namely the setting of poetry from the pen of a writer, but astonish with unusual musical perspectives. Boguth’s individual, genre-busting tonal language extends far beyond Jazz, sometimes referring to Joe Jackson’s intelligently catchy melody or to the playful complexity of Progressive Rock. But these are not deliberate references, because Boguth has never dealt with music from this direction.
