Stunning Tune from Ian William Craig
If you’ve read the dribble of my writing, you’ve surely noticed that I’m fascinated by the power of voice. My own voice is the deep scary thing I’ve had since 3rd grade, so when I come across angelic voices like Ian William Craig‘s, I can’t help but to be drawn into the depths of every note. This new tune, just released, is a pure experiment in the rise and fall of a voice, with the instrumentation fairly inaudible, almost non-existent. There are some atmospherics that seem to counter the beauty of Craig’s voice, but you can’t take away from something so powerful. He’ll be releasing a new collection of songs, Centres, via FatCat’s new label 130701 on July 8th.
