The name Ryley Walker is poised to become one of the more talked about names in Chicago. He just released his debut 12" EP via Tompkins Square and the first video, "The West Wind", had a major premier. Walker is a ’70’s throwback focusing on psych-folk. Walker is just 24 but has spent several years in and around the city’s experimental noise scene. His transition to folk sounds has been smooth, but you can still find traces of his former passions.
Walker full-length debut is due out in April 2014 also through Tompkins Square.
You can catch Ryley Walker at Saki with Pillars & Tongues on Friday, December 13th.
