    ::REVIEWS::.... 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 .... ................................................................................................................................... ....

    The Apprentice presents this work wordless, naive, and among a silent choir (a collected choir of people who are energetically and physically present but sonically null.) I am learning to be as an apprentice. AComme Un Apprenti que j'apprends être artiste, une femme, un parler français concis, le c'est la langue de sondage la plus douce, la langue d'amour, et enfin des artistes la  tradition romantique. S'il vous plaît me donner quelque reponse, les idées, l'amour, les questions, la critique, et un hasard quant à mon message au monde.  L'amour et Allume, Teaadora As an ApprenticeI am learning to be an artist, a woman, a succinct and fluent French speaker, it is the softest sounding language, the language of love, and of the artists romantic tradition. Please give me some reponse, ideas, love, questions, critique, and a chance regarding my mess
