Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with Spine River : The Guitar Music of Wall Matthews, 1967​-​1981, released on Tompkins Square in 2020

Guitarist Wall Matthews is surviving member of experimental 70's collective, Entourage. Sampled by Four Tet, their name whispered in reverence through the decades, Entourage forged bold musical ideas on their two rare ’70s Folkways LPs.

Spine River : The Guitar Music of Wall Matthews, 1967-1981 is a collection of unreleased or obscure music by the master guitarist. This volume will be released as a limited edition LP, along with four other digital volumes of Wall's music, mapping his entire career. All five albums will be released on April 10th, 2020.

Ended the week and started the weekend with Ceremony Of Dreams: Studio Sessions And Outtakes 1972-1977 by The Entourage Music & Theatre Ensemble. released in 2018 on Tomkins Square.

Grayson Haver Currin wrote for Pitchfork:

"If you’ve ever heard (or even heard of) the Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble, there’s a strong chance you’ve listened to Four Tet. Nearly two decades ago, the British producer was rifling through stacks of records in a London flea market, digging for samples among the castaways. He happened upon The Neptune Collection, an unknown-to-him 1976 release from the Folkways label. With the record’s enormous green-and-purple vortex at the center, the quizzical band name on the flanks, and Folkways’ proud pedigree in tow, Four Tet took a chance.

The album’s first cut, “Neptune Rising,” immediately rewarded his risk..."
