Devotion is Margaret Glaspy's first full-length since her acclaimed debut 2016 Emotions and Math and marks an entirely new sonic chapter for her. Glaspy has built a reputation as a skilled guitarist, and Emotions and Math was notable for its swaggering electric guitar sounds; on Devotion she shifted gears and built songs with synths as their base. The results - co-produced with Los Angeles' Tyler Chester - are rich, sweeping, and melodic, a fittingly enchanting sound for a collection of 12 love songs. "It's about letting love in even when you don't know what will happen when you do," says Glaspy. "It's about devoting your heart to someone or something, against all odds."

So awesome! Very different vibes than Emotions and Math, but same amazing voice, cool harmony, killer musicians, great production. Love it.

Thanks to ATO records for delivering this vinyl during the tough time of the pandemic. I have found music to be incredibly healing and grounding, and hearing Margaret Glaspy's transcendent voice while working on a jigsaw puzzle is enough to shift my mind state away from fear and into art and beauty.
