Meg Baird is a founding member of the experimental folk collective Espers (Drag City). She continues to perform and produce solo work under her own name, and she is the vocalist and drummer in Heron Oblivion (Sub Pop). Her most recent solo record, Don't Weigh Down the Light, is currently available through Drag City. “I hope that my work as a musician hasn't made me focus on sound in film too much, but it's really hard for me not to think with my ears,” she wrote about her compiling her list. “Selecting just ten films was even more impossible—if it had been ten films for each letter of the alphabet, that would still be as hard.”
