about

*sold out*
matthew riley is a dude who used to live in delaware, but not resides somewhere in the woods of pennsylvania. i ran into him at a the cluster show in baltimore last year and caught up a bit. he gave me a copy of a cdr that he released called "let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees" that had this gorgeous hand-made packaging, and upon listening, an even sicker sound. i asked him to do a 905er, and crestabutte is the result. matthew recorded a swampy slush of layered guitar(?) and field recordings(?) over a bootleg of a 1989 jerry garcia band set, leaving the original recording in tact. sometimes jgb peers in through matt's droning, and when he is done, garcia and company round out the tape. the cover for crestabutte is actually a carbon copy of the tape he recorded over, coffee stain and all. high art.(905 tapes)
