Ryley Walker - Primrose Green
Alongside upcoming solo artists Tobias Jesso Jr. and Leon Bridges, Ryley Walker’s sound is rooted in his love of music from the past.
Ryley Walker is a Chicago based artist, who this year will release an album on Dead Oceans. Last year Walker released his debut LP ‘All Kinds Of You’ and he follows it with ‘Primrose Green,’ sharingthe title track has shared this week. Alongside upcoming solo artists Tobias Jesso Jr. and Leon Bridges, Walker’s sound is rooted in his love of music from the past. ‘Primrose Green’ calls to mind the trans-Atlantic folk artists of the 60’s and 70’s, with a nod to artists born out of the genre’s canon.
Delicate and meditative, ‘Primrose Green’ may sound nostalgic, but Walker’s lyrics are looking to the future, in which an idyllic space provides a place for reflection. Plucked with an ease, Walker’s guitar playing is as skilful as he is sensual and worth keeping an eye out for if you long for a pastoral summer in 2015.
