Ian William Craig is a highly acclaimed artist known for his unique blend of ambient music and experimental soundscapes. Hailing from Canada, Craig has gained recognition for his mesmerizing compositions that combine haunting vocals with layers of distorted tape loops and delicate piano melodies.

With a discography spanning over a decade, Ian William Craig has established himself as one of the leading figures in contemporary electronic music. His ethereal soundscapes have captivated audiences around the world, earning him comparisons to artists such as Sarah Davachi, Kara-Lis Coverdale, and Abul Mogard.

Craig's music transports listeners to otherworldly realms, evoking emotions and creating immersive sonic experiences. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources including classical music, drone, and avant-garde experimentation, he crafts intricate compositions that push the boundaries of traditional musical genres.

Vancouver-based singer / composer Ian William Craig returns with a brilliant and powerfully emotive new album. His first for a long while to be centred around the piano - and also one of his most pared back - the record was made through an intense period of personal loss and environmental catastrophe. Red Sun Through Smoke was recorded over two cataclysmic weeks in August 2018 in Kelowna, whilst the city was encircled by the forest fires which, under a warming climate, now regularly rage through British Columbia in summertime. With smoke engulfing the landscape, it was recorded from start to finish in the living room of a small house owned by his grandfather, who was moved into palliative care and tragically died halfway through the recording, his lungs filled with fluid as a result of the smoke. Forged in trauma and an intense, bewildering slew of mixed emotions, Ian William Craig has created an album of incredible beauty, sadness and depth. Red Sun Through Smoke is a profoundly moving album, a standout record in a prolific body of work that shows no sign of faltering.
