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]
