Deafman Glance

Description

Chicago’s prodigy continues his sonic explorations with this splendid, more experimental fourth album. The Chicagoan delivers a fourth album with a near-classical feel, where the composer remains little concerned with the issues of his time, drawing above all on an era when Tim Buckley and Van Morrison pushed the boundaries of folk to the edges of a baroque and exalted jazz. Ryley Walker has toured extensively. Above all, he remembered his apprenticeship years in Chicago, to the sound of the post-rock of Gastr del Sol or Tortoise, and the improvisation sessions organized by multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach, so it is only logical that "Deafman Glance" should be the second Ryley Walker album produced by LeRoy Bach and Walker himself. It was mainly recorded at Minbal Studio in Chicago. Other recording sessions later took place at USA Studios and in LeRoy’s kitchen. Cooper Crain (Bitchin' Bajas, Cave) recorded and mixed the album, and played some of the synths on the album. FOR FANS OF John Martyn, Wilco, Tim Buckley, Jim O'Rourke
