Unissued recordings from Entourage guitarist Wall Matthews due in April

Tompkins Square is releasing a 16-track collection of Entourage guitarist Wall Matthews' solo recordings in a limited run of 500 copies on April 10. 

Spine River: The Guitar Music of Wall Matthews, 1967-1981

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. Tompkins Square released a 3CD/1LP anthology, Ceremony of Dreams : Studio Sessions and Outtakes, 1972-1977, in 2018 to wide acclaim.

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 mapping various phases of Wall's career. All five albums will be released on April 10th, 2020. You can pre-order the limited-edition 16-track Spine River LP right here. Watch two unrelated clips of Wall Matthews performing with Entourage pal Rusty Clark in 1976 and the early 80s below.
