Review by Haydon Spenceley

Sean Schuster-Craig has realised a vision, whether we get it or not. It’s for us to get on his wavelength.»

Jib Kidder is the performing moniker of musician and artist Sean Schuster-Craig. Born in Louisville, raised in Georgia, educated in Michigan and bouncing between California and New York ever since, he has spent the last decade exploring a variety of approaches to psychedelic collage. In his audio recordings, songs, videos, sculptures, digital paintings, chalk murals and written work he has attempted to harness the humour and ambiguous poignancy specific to the experience of dreaming. The latest addition to Schuster-Craig's unique and under-exposed body of work comes in the form of 'Teaspoon To The Ocean', his debut album for Weird World. The eleven acid-country pop songs of Teaspoon...combine the cut-up lyrical style of avant garde literary great Gertrude Stein with influences ranging from Lindsay Buckingham to Meat Puppets by way of Roy Orbison, Gary Numan and Indonesian Campursari and Vietnamese slide guitar playing.
