{"product_id":"600116133212","title":"Craig, Ian William: Thresholder (Vinyl LP)","description":"\"Eighteen months on from his last new release, Vancouver-based singer \/ composer Ian William Craig returns to FatCat with an (album-length) EPof eleven brand new tracks. Entitled Thresholder, the record sees Craig return towards the smudged and scoured beauty of his 2016 opus, Centres, a record which was universally acclaimed, making many end-of-year lists - including the likes of Rolling Stone, Uncut, The Wire, The Quie-tus, The 405 and Drowned In Sound. For Craig the focus of the album was a great boundlessness of space, the sound of the big bang, the spookiness of the quantum world, and vacillations of different kinds ofcon-flicting time. Besides as the often-quoted William Basinski reference point, the music here recalls the visceral media-decay of early '00s operators like Fennesz, Belong, Desormais, Philip Jeck or Pimmon. \"\"Idea for Contradiction 2\"\"Is like a massively over-driven or sandpaper-scoured version of Brian Eno's \"\"An Ending\"\"or some shredded Colin Stetson stem. The ending of\"\"And Therefore the Moonlight\"\" - is reminiscent of Sigur Rós (who are fans and recently invited Ian to play their NorðurogNiður festival in Reykjavik); while \"\"Sfumato\"\" exists in the same dimension as The Caretaker's haunted ballroom with it's reverb-drenched and occluded distant vocals.\"  Elided, Some Absolute Means, TC-377 Poem, Mass Noun, Idea for Contradiction 1, And Therefore the Moonlight, The Last Westbrook Lament, Discovered in Flat, Sfumato, Idea for Contradiction 2, More Words for Mistake","brand":"Fat Cat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36480073498774,"sku":"600116133212","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3576622_3713a2f0-0c0b-43d1-aada-587d72255445.jpg?v=1705160660","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/600116133212","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
