She announced the album with “Act Natural” at the end of May, following it with “Memories” and “Get Back” in subsequent weeks. Glaspy has said that Echo the Diamond “is the most fluid and immediate music [she has] ever made.”

Arnold Dreyblatt: Resolve [Drag City]
Bassist, composer, and instrument builder Arnold Dreyblatt has established himself as an inventive, exploratory performer over the past 50 years. On his new album, Resolve, he reunites with the Orchestra of Excited Strings for the first time since 2002, performing with his upright bass strung with piano wire. “Resolve is dazzling proof of this Orchestra’s musical prowess as well as an astonishing technical achievement,” writes Pitchfork’s Matthew Blackwell.
