Event information
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. Originally from the Northern California town of Red Bluff, Glaspy first started writing songs at age 15 and soon began honing the potent balance of sensitivity and incisiveness that now imbues her music. In bringing "Echo The Diamond" to life, she adhered to a song-writing process meant to preserve and amplify her unfettered expression ("If I sit down with a guitar for about 15 minutes, I usually have a song at the end," she notes). Along with drawing from an eclectic mix of inspirations - Sonic Youth, Vivienne Westwood's punk-influenced approach to fashion, Tom Waits's music and turn as a jailbird DJ in Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law, the 1985 Japanese Western film Tampopo - Glaspy sustained that sense of thoughtful urgency upon joining forces with King and Morrissey in the studio.
"This is the most fluid and immediate music I have ever made," she says. "I see now that I protected the creative space by surrounding myself with incredible people in making of this record, and I'm so happy I did."
