Centres is really good

I like Centres a bunch (although A Turn Of Breath is considerably better IMO). Contain (Astoria Version) and A Single Hope make for one hell of a one-two opening combo!

With all due respect, Craig's evolution from tape and sound artist into Bon Iver/early Grizzly Bear stuff is really unfortunate. The former was very special, the latter is commonplace.

Yeah, it's a tough and fast decline.

Have people gone cold on IWC?
I could have weeped playing "Contain" earlier. So beautiful. (Disclaimer: have got home from work, drank wine and decided that IWC should be the Xmas soundtrack).
He's Christmas-y, right?

Haven't heard the recent collection but thanks for the reminder

I think Threshholder is better than the last one.

I've got a lot of time for "Slow Vessels" and play it a lot, often in the middle of the night when I have insomnia. If it had been the only thing he'd done, I'd have been less interested ... but I don't mind that there is light and shade in his catalogue.

Have there been any decent interviews about his art rather than his music?

Just played a "live session" that felt a bit too sing-songy.
― djh, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 19:47 (four years ago) link
Having been listening to "Centres" at silly o'clock in the morning, when I've not been able to sleep. I'd forgotten that I've said similar before ("I've got a lot of time for "Slow Vessels" and play it a lot, often in the middle of the night when I have insomnia.")
I definitely own things since "Slow Vessels" but sort of lost track/not played them.
