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
“Entropy” instantly launches you into a dreamscape of airy spacious melodies and effects. Tantalizing pop hooks are marred by nothing, not even the small recording budget, and find a special place wrapped tightly inside of emotional verses and words with a slight nod to ambient pop ala Brian Eno. Simply stunning. - Smother.net
Entropy is ambitious and textured and reveals influences from Brian Wilson, Brian Eno and Mark Kozelek. His live show is a multi-media experience. - WMNF 88.5
King of Spain's soft pop tracks are nice and hummable...and feature subtle, warm electronics fading in and out of the picture. Nice, relaxing, smart stuff. - Baby Sue
King of Spain's debut release Entropy (out on New Granada Records) is ambitious and textured. Upon first listen, you’re hit with a wall of sound: guitar, keyboard, percussion and cloned tracks of Slate’s vocals are walloped with reverb and other effects, creating a finished product that is altogether beautiful. - REAX Magazine
Slate's gorgeous-as-clouds atmospherics and teasing melodies are a sub-genre unto themselves. - Tampa Tribune
Tampa's King of Spain (aka Matt Slate) crafts gorgeous, atmospheric music that channels Brians Eno and Wilson but sounds wholly unique and modern. Entropy, his 2008 debut on New Granada Records, is one of the year's best, a quietly stunning indie pop record that deserves national attention. - Creative Loafing
"Entropy" is also available locally in the Tampa Bay area at any these fine independent record stores: Vinyl Fever, Sound Exchange, Mojo Music & Daddy Kool.
