Ian William Craig - Theia and the Archive

Seems like everyone discovered Ian William Craig late last year with his astounding album, A Forgetting Place. Theia and the Archive, the follow-up, is equally good, confirming the validity of the Tim Hecker/Fennesz comparisons. Looks like we have a new auteur on our hands.

Susan Balmar

So, not only is Susan Balmar a brilliant sound sculptor (see Signum below), she's also an amazing visual artist (above and after the jump). Super inspiring.

The Exposure - ________

The Exposure is a project from multi-instrumentalist/video artist Paris Mygatt, New Haven, CT, that recalls demented FG folksters of old (Navigator, Kurt Weisman) and just goes to show -- there's somethin in the water no matter where you drink it. File under: aliens are people too, dreamy tape modulation, New Weird Connecticut, twisted homesickness. Beautiful stuff.
