Echo The Diamond: CD

Description:

The third full-length from Margaret Glaspy, Echo The Diamond emerged from a deliberate stripping-away of artifice to reveal life for all its harsh truths and ineffable beauty. Like the precious gem of its title, the result is an object of startling luminosity, one capable of cutting through the most elaborately constructed faades. This record came from trying to meet life on lifes terms, instead of looking for a happy ending in everything, says the New York-based musician. The whole experience of creating it felt like effortless catharsis.

Produced by Glaspy with co-production from her partner, guitarist/composer Julian Lage, Echo The Diamond expands on the frenetic vitality of her widely acclaimed debut Emotions and Matha 2016 release The New Yorker hailed as an album in which pretty songs often turn prickly, enriched by carefully measured infusions of dissonance and grit. This time around, Glaspy worked with drummer/percussionist David King of The Bad Plus and bassist Chris Morrissey (Andrew Bird, Lucius, Ben Kweller), recording at Reservoir Studios in Manhattan and embracing an intentionally unfussy process that left plenty of room for spontaneity.
