Ryley Walker has announced that his latest album Golden Sings That Have Been Sung will be released on August 19.
The follow-up to last year’s Primrose Green was produced by LeRoy Bach – and Walker credits him with shaping the sound of the first single from the album, The Halfwit In Me. Hear it below.
Walker says: “It was everything I wanted it to be. I would go to LeRoy’s house every other day with a riff, and we would take it from there.
“He helped shape that song – especially the clarinet parts. We went into the studio over the Christmas vacation – in fact, I think we actually recorded that song on Christmas Day.”
Walker will head out on tour from next week, where he’ll play dates across the US, Europe and the UK.
