Forged in trauma and an intense, bewildering slew of mixed emotions - wildfires raged near the secluded cabin in which he was recording, his grandfather passed away from said wildfires during the recording process, and he discovered his new feelings of love were mutual only a day before she moved to Paris - 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.
