Piero Scaruffi reviews Careful

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0400

The prolific Piero Scaruffi has taken the time to write up ‘Oh, Light’:

The whispered vocals are only half of the show, though. The arrangements may be unassuming, but they play a big role in altering what would otherwise be a straightforward meaning.

Scaruffi’s story is quite interesting. Take a gander.

Careful Upcoming Apperances:

Thursday, April 7, 7pm: Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum Lounge

Yelena Zhelezov, Chi-Wang Yang and I will be performing “The Live-Long Day”, a cross between multimedia theater performance and fine art installation. Yelena is an exciting, playful artist and puppetrix who has a talent for creating wonderfully oblique metaphorical instantiations of ideas that manage to be both whimsical and critically engaged. Chi-Wang is a theater director and artist who constantly redefines the boundaries and possibilities of theatrical and non-theatrical performative experience. If you can, please come see the result of our efforts!

Sunday, April 10, 11pm-2am: KXLU

The sincere and engaging Mystic Pete has invited me to play live and share some music on his great show on KXLU. I’ll be playing a lot of esoteric and beautiful music by friends and people I admire who combine art, academia, electronics and songwriting.

Sunday, April 17, 3:30pm: Outpost for Contemporary Art

I’ll be reading with Lidia Yuknavitch and Janice Lee on family and abjection. Janice is a deeply theoretical and fascinating writer who manages to represent the emotional complexities of human existence and cognition. Lidia is an incredibly engaging reader and writer, who’s work ranges over several genres, but is always both critically informed, inventive, and affecting.

Sunday, April 17, evening/night: The Smell (Downtown LA)

I’ll be playing with Daylong Valleys of the Nile (members of Lavender Diamond—and talented at combining complex harmonic movement with an energetic, improvised feel) and the wonderful Girls in Trouble (who beautifully weave informed and innovative readings of esoteric religious figures with intricate songwriting and compelling, interlocking melodies—Highly Recommended bands and venue and altogether night!

Careful Chosen as a NYC Artist on the Rise at Deli Magazine:

His tunes, tied together by a soft, whispered approach and by attention to texture, mix more or less traditional songwriting with sparse and dreamy electronic effects, often slightly dissonant, but always tastefully realized.

'Oh, Light' Reviewed at the Jackson Hole Weekly:

Lindley’s arrangements are delicately spare and he imbues every line he sings with a sincere gravitas that could be endearing to one listener and overly ingratiating to another.

Oh, Light reviewed on Dusted

Oh, Light reviewed on Dusted:

The reviews are still trickling in:

Careful’s second album, Oh, Light, could hardly be more intimate. And yet there’s a fantastic oddity in these folk-centered, jazz-infused, songs, the best sort of self-recorded eccentricity. These are skeletal songs, yet twisted subtly into fantastical, gothic shapes.
[…]
Even so, these songs are fundamentally human. They are vulnerable, minimally adorned and powerful – and more than a little warped by a sharp, unconventional mind.
[…]
But, in a way, that’s the appeal of a record like this, beautiful on its surface, serene and easy to listen to right way, but fraught with hidden complexity.
