Andi ChorleyEnded Tuesday and started Wednesday after a swim with Elvis Was A Capricorn by William Tyler, released on Tompkins Square in 2012.
Grayson Haver Currin wrote for Pitchfork:
"Maybe 10 minutes seems like a long time to listen to one electric guitar play one piece of music. But even on the shorter songs from his 2010 LP Behold the Spirit, Nashville guitarist William Tyler demonstrated enviable faculties of both dynamics and timing. He patched moments of guitar picking so quiet they seemed to murmur with drones dense enough to rattle the cage, shifting between them with preternatural ease.
...Elvis Was a Capricorn is included as a bonus in the limited-edition box set that reprises all five of Tompkins Square’s Imaginational Anthem compilations."
