Selected : Eric Lindley (New Album, NYTimes Feature)
About a year ago, we featured Eric Lindley on the blog. Eric is a singer, writer and composer who makes beautifully hushed lo-fi pop songs in the style of Smog, Elliott Smith, Arthur Russell, et al, but abstracted with sparse electronics.
This month, he will release Oh, Light under his new moniker, Careful. The new record is available streaming here, and will be released physically later this month. Careful was also featured this week as a New York Times Critics Choice.
On a personal note, I love this music, and I’m glad it’s getting the exposure it deserves!

Selected : Eric Lindley
Eric Lindley is a singer, writer and friend based out of Los Angeles. He does many art-things, one of which is making beautifully hushed lo-fi songwriter material that recalls Smog, Elliott Smith and Red House Painters.
His first full-length, “Nightcat!”, came out on Sounds Super in 2007. My favorite track from that album, “Shooting Range,” seems to follow me everywhere.
