Moving Ballad from Ian William Craig

The tape hiss and warble from the opening moments drew me into this new Ian William Craig song. In the end, it was the powerful simplicity that made me press repeat, made me want to share it. There’s a starkness to this number, as Craig’s voice soars angelically and piano notes ring out. While that empty space serves a great purpose, the song blossoms as the recording crackles and light atmospherics swell behind Ian’s voice. Don’t be scared by the length of this tune; your time will be well spent! Slow Vessles will be released on May 5th, ready to strike at every emotional note you hold within yourself.
