Stepping into music at the ripe age of 25, Nick Boeder brings something different to the table of indie music. A Chicago native who has spent most of his life as a social worker, Border hasn’t just observed human struggle from a distance.
” Two chords, one truth, as the end of love teaches us how to begin again.”
His debut reader, which was designed alongside patron Chris Beeble and a talented group of session musicians, sounds like someone who’s been listening long enough to know exactly what the listeners need to hear. Through his storytelling, Boeder builds islands between the messy corridor of being mortal and the mending we all desperately seek. His newest release, “ Your Shadowed Doubts, ” comes from a transitional chapter in his life in 2019. He moved all the way from New Mexico to Boulder and was hit with the first surge of the worldwide pandemic, while simultaneously also grieving a heartache. The song’s production is minimalistic: two chords, B minor and D. But minimalist production need not always feel superficial. Boeder’s vocals find the opportunity to shine through. Lines like “The pointed blame” and “Was it yours or mine?” are simply admitting that connections rarely ever collapse because of one person’s mistakes. The song doesn’t point fingers or seek vengeance like most regular breakup songs do. Stream “Your Shadowed Doubts ” and follow Nick Boeder’s brand-new journey through the music-making scene. Something tells me this is just the beginning!
