Eric Lindley (born December 10, 1982) is an American artist, writer, and musician working primarily in Los Angeles and New York City under the name Careful. His work includes recorded and live "glitch folk,"[1] works of fiction, poetry, performance art, photography, and interactive installation.

After getting degrees in physics and music at Dartmouth College, Lindley studied composition with James Tenney, at The California Institute of the Arts.[2] Still at Cal Arts, he released "Nightcat!" under the name Careful, and scored numerous short and feature films, as well as several performance works. He was active in the Los Angeles music scene, playing with Anna Oxygen, Lucky Dragons, and Phil Elverum of The Microphones at venues like The Smell.

In 2008, he moved to New York, where he released both "Careful" and "Oh, Light," the latter recorded in his partner's closet in Washington Heights, Manhattan.[3] There, he also recorded a cover of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance."[4]

Lindley currently lives in New York City, editing the literary and arts magazine Out of Nothing with collaborators Joe Milazzo and Janice Lee, and building robots part-time.[5]
