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. That’s the sound I hear, all the time, ringing in my ears.”ĭeafman Glance is the second Ryley Walker album produced by LeRoy Bach and Walker himself. Chicago sounds like a train constantly coming towards you but never arriving. And I think I succeeded in that way - it’s got some weird instrumentation on there, and some surreal far-out words. I was always trying to make something like this I guess, trying to catch up with my imagination. I just wanted to make something weird and far-out that came from the heart finally.

I didn’t want to be jammy acoustic guy anymore. Find Ryley Walker best songs, old and new, plus top hits and full song list at AllMusic. I wanted to make something deep-fried and more me-sounding. I was under a lot of stress because I was trying to make an anti-folk record and I was having trouble doing it. There’s a looseness to some of the songs I guess, but I didn’t want to rely on just hanging out on one note. “ I think more than anything the thing to take away from this record is that I appreciate what improv and jamming and that outlook on music has done for me, but I wanted rigid structure for these songs. frequently steal the show like in the impressionistic Telluride Speed while Walkers.

A guide to Riley Walker: biography, discography, reviews, ratings. vĭeafman Glance by Ryley Walker RRyley Walkerįri 5/18 and Sat 5/19, 8 PM, Hungry Brain, 2319 W.Ryley Walker has announced his new album, Deafman Glance, due out Friday, May 18 on D ead Oceans via Inertia Music. No less significant is the growth of Walker’s songwriting, which extends to an almost cosmic openness on the harrowing “Accommodations” and a prog-flavored expansiveness on the breathlessly shifting “Telluride Speed.” The recording features a changing cast of players in the rhythm section, but for these special hometown shows he’ll lead a band with Sulpizio, Lepine, bassist Andrew Scott Young on bass, and Quin Kirchner and Mikel Avery on drums. The multilayered, rich arrangements on the new record effectively cradle his voice, underlining his most blase utterances and countering his most effusive shouts-the serene flute lines of Nate Lepine and the spacey synth accents contributed by Bitchin Bajas’ Cooper Crain interact beautifully with the probing, sometimes biting leads of Walker and his frequent collaborators, guitarists Bill MacKay and Brian Sulpizio.
Walker’s singing is also at its best here it’s at once melodically precise and soulfully loose. Though for years he’s found a sweet spot in his performances, blending the jazz-folk splendor of John Martyn with the exploratory vibe of Tim Buckley and Tim Hardin, until Deafman Glance he hadn’t mastered that mix on recordings. But as much as Walker’s characters are uncertain and hobbled, he’s more assured and focused as a performer than ever. It’s hard to miss the biting humor when Walker sings, “Tripped over your coat / Quick exit now ruined” in “Can’t Ask Why,” where he can’t even pull off a smooth departure after a breakup. In most of the songs the narrator struggles with his decisions and fucks things up more often than not. Ryley Walker closes his new album Deafman Glance (Dead Oceans) with a tune that nails the existential turbulence that ripples through most of his songs: “Whenever I do my best, I will spoil with the rest,” he sings, acknowledging a self-destructive impulse that bleeds into his affairs, romantic and otherwise.
