Album Life Coaching: Margaret Glaspy Makes A Chandler Bing Album

You know that meme of Chandler holding a record and squinting his eyes as if the record it is his spiritual life jacket. Margaret Glaspy´s Echo The Diamond is the record he was holding. It is an album for those moody, rainy days when you feel like the world is against you and your too good for it, which is very often. 

The album just Zooms by like late car trying to get to work early. It feels like a burst of pensive, intrusive thoughts beautifully and simply layered over guitar-led melodies: turning that diamond energy to really feel like the moon. Margaret has lyrically captured every moment when you locked yourself in a quiet, lonely room and just let your mind trail: walk and traverse whatever thought and feeling you deny of self-aggrandizement or even self-deprecation. The thing is, when you are trapped in your head you meet delusions as much as dreams, and they can both feel really enticing to traverse, and Margaret has the voice to emanate that. 

From ¨Act Natural¨ to ¨People Who Talk,¨ Glaspy´s entire album inspiration might have been just watching me heading to work. I have always believed that everyone and everything is energy, It is why people SWEAR we are in The Matrix or manifestation can change your whole life. For Glaspy, our energy is something we give too much of to the world and not enough to ourselves. Thus her vocals come like a series of pastel, picture frames holding the the greyed images of our daily life. The result is a record that is both specific and a must. This is your CHANDLER ALBUM: the one you whip out, put on your headphones, and let yourself feel really bad for yourself while also feeling really good to be you.
