Northern Transmissions 'Song of the Day' is “Spoil With The Rest” by Ryley Walker
Ryley Walker

Ryley Walker today shares “Spoil With The Rest,” the third and final single from his forthcoming album, Deafman Glance. The album is due to be released on May 18th by Dead Oceans. Following previously released singles “Telluride Speed” and “Opposite Middle.” Having just wrapped up a run of U.S. dates with Calexico, Walker will tour Europe extensively this summer and fall as well as a headline run through North America in September. However, first he will play two record release shows at Hungry Brain in his hometown of Chicago, on May 18th (sold out) and May 19th.

Ryley Walker on the song:

“’Spoil With The Rest’ was, I think, the first or second tune written for the record in January of 2017,” says Walker. “I think it’s a really funny look at trying and failing. I tune the bottom two strings up a full step for this song. I always think I’m gonna break the strings when I play it live. Very fitting.”
