Topping off this list of notorious Chi-Town players is Nate Lepine, who added a lot of flute and a little saxophone too.ĭeafman Glance will be available digitally, on CD and on LP, which was cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London, using his half-speed mastering method for the greatest possible audio detail and fidelity. Drums / percussion are handled by Mikel Avery and Quin Kirchner. Andrew Scott Young and Matt Lux play bass – Andrew supplying some double-bass, both of them played electric. LeRoy Bach also plays some electric guitar, whilst adding all piano and other keys. Ryley plays electric & acoustic guitars and was joined by long-time 6-string sparring partners, Brian J Sulpizio and Bill Mackay, who both play electric. Cooper Crain (Bitchin’ Bajas, Cave) recorded and mixed the album, as well as adding his shimmering synths all over it. Some later sessions also took place at USA Studios and in LeRoy’s kitchen. It was largely recorded at the Minbal (now JAMDEK) Studios in Chicago. Really can’t wait for the gigs.”ĭeafman Glance is the second Ryley Walker album produced by LeRoy Bach and Ryley himself. Mutual admiration society and David Grubbs and Ryley Walker had been taking notes on one another’s playing for some time before they hit the stage together on a couple of blistering occasions immediately pre-pandemic. I can’t play as well as either of them but I was thinking about it. I was thinking a lot about making my brain work better and the guitar playing of David Grubbs and Steve Hackett. What a bummer that would have been, yeah? Somehow it worked itself out to become the only bonafide fast jammer on the record.
“‘Opposite Middle’ was the last tune written for the record,” says Ryley. dates with Calexico this spring and a record release show at Hungry Brain in his hometown of Chicago on May 18th (with a second show now added on the 19th due to demand). He’ll tour Europe extensively this summer and fall after a run of U.S. Premiering via Noisey, it follows the previously released single “ Telluride Speed” and marks the expansion of Ryley’s world tour in support of Deafman Glance. Listen to A Tap on the Shoulder in the context of Ryley’s glorious Course in Fable listen to it in the context of Grubbs’s playing with Loren Connors, Jim O’Rourke, Taku Unami, and others or listen to it as if you’ve never heard note one from these soulful odd birds, the two of them curiously, quixotically committed to working inside and beyond song form.Ryley Walker is sharing the second single, “ Opposite Middle,” from his forthcoming album, Deafman Glance, out May 18th. And where the duo’s live performances thus far have been set-length juggernauts, A Tap on the Shoulder toggles effortlessly between microscope, telescope, and Cinemascope, letting the smallest of gestures land in all of its sonic specificity before opening the scene up to disorienting panoramas. What’s good for the geezer is good for the, etc. Ryley’s hellion musical fearlessness lights a fire under the more typically Apollonian, chess-masterly Grubbs.
Don’t think for a second that these shorthand descriptions suffice.
#RYLEY WALKER DAVID GRUBBS SIMULATOR#
(One of these live sets was released earlier this year as Fight or Flight Simulator on Café OTO’s Takuroku label.) Studio sessions were clearly in the cards, and the result is A Tap on the Shoulder. Mutual admiration society and David Grubbs and Ryley Walker had been taking notes on one another’s playing for some time before they hit the stage together on a couple of blistering occasions immediately pre-pandemic. How about now? (Not for you to decide.) Or exactly what it means-except in the aftermath. You never know when that tap’s going to come. Album launch show collection of duo performances that veers from crystalline instrumental compositions, to animated alien chatterfests, and from ecstatic extrapolations charging this way and that, and beyond.
