The new album from the American folk virtuoso. It’s fair to say that 2015 was a brilliant year for Ryley Walker! With the release of his remarkable album "Primrose Green", he was showered with praise from critics, including NPR, Village Voice, Uncut and Mojo. But he was also praised by musicians such as Robert Plant, who himself declared that he was a big fan. 2016 is shaping up to be just as stunning for Ryley Walker, who is pleased to announce his new album, "Golden Sings That Have Been Sung". His musical background was shaped by rock pioneers such as Gastr Del Sol and Tortoise, and he remembers when, in 2009, he was just a teenager. He used to attend improvisation nights organized by Wilco multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach at the Whistler, a gallery/restaurant. There, players such as Dan Bitney, Tortoise’s drummer, would gather to perform. And Ryley never missed an opportunity to go see them, until the day he played with them, these people he saw as true heroes. At that time, he would never have imagined that Bach would produce his album, and yet that is now the case with "Golden Sings That Have Been Sung". So it is hardly surprising that the first single, "The Halfwit In Me", is the sonic mirror of those sessions at the Whistler.
