The Music of King of Spain
Currently we are hard at work on our new album, tentatively titled “All I Did Was Tell Them The Truth And They Thought It Was Hell”. It’s mostly recorded and should be out sometime early/mid 2012.
A tour will follow. Keep an eye and ear out for both.

Hailing from Tampa, FL King of Spain is the ambient-pop creation of Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Matt Slate and bassist Daniel Wainright. Their Brian Wilson-esque vocal harmonies, airy mix of electronic and acoustic rhythms, and spacious guitar sounds blend together to create sound that is truly unique and beautiful.
With one Full-Length (Entropy), and an EP (PEEK) to their name, released on New Granada Records, the duo are currently working on tracks for a second album, and an upcoming cassette / MP3 single release.
“Entropy is an artful collection of intricately crafted electro-folk songs, built with pulsating guitars, strange ambient sounds and looped vocal parts that showcase Slate’s distinctively raspy voice. It’s a refreshingly rich and unpredictable mix drenched in reverb and spacious effects.” – NPR
“King of Spain creates intricate songs, full of sincere emotion, released by adding pastoral guitar notes and repeating melodies at just the right moments. It took Matt Slate 5 years to get back to writing songs again and while the wait was worth it his music is too good to be kept away for that long again.” – Delusions of Adequacy
