Giveaway: Careful’s “Oh, Light”
Visual artist Eric Lindley records gorgeous, sorrowful music under the moniker Careful. Shades of Arthur Russell, Chris Garneau, and Xiu Xiu lurk in the corners of his sonic palette, as Lindley balances subtle sonic experimentation with acoustic tranquility. His new album, Oh, Light, was recorded in the refuge of his partner’s darkened closet over the period of a month, and feels at once intimate and layered, beckoning the listener for frequent returns to its chest of aural wonders.
In the afterglow of a coveted shout-out by the New York Times, the record will get its physical release in stores tomorrow. To celebrate, we’re giving a copy away on Future Shipwreck! Just comment on this post to qualify! A lucky winner will be chosen by random selection tomorrow night.
Listen to the album in full, below. I’d have to say my favorite tracks are “Scrappy” and “Oi, etc.” Also, watch Nicholas Girder‘s experimental videos for “Fox and His Friends” and “Laid, or Lain” after the jump.
UPDATE: The winner, chosen via random number generator, is Ben Prisbylla! Thanks everyone for playing!

Go Eric!
