It’s hard to believe that Fixed Memory is Glenn Echo’s first album. Formed in 2015 by multi-instrumentalist Matt Gaydar, the alt-folk project has a deceptively intricate way of spinning acoustic guitar melodies, cozy vocal harmonies, and introspective lyrics into a soothing blend of indie folk. There’s a professional quality to Glenn Echo’s music that’s typically reserved for seasoned musicians, and listening to his debut LP, it’s easy to picture him sharing the stage with those very luminaries. After all, over the span of 12 songs, Fixed Memory plays out like a pastoral soundscape that could easily be mistaken for the work of Big Thief, Keaton Henson, or José González.
Back in 2015, Gaydar decided to put his best foot forward under the moniker Glenn Echo, a nod to the street he grew up on. After studying classical composition in college, he learned to appreciate the use of orchestral instruments within indie rock and experimental music. He then left town to live in Nashville, TN and Northampton, MA for a handful of years where he began reimagining his song sketches as something much bigger. Ultimately teaming up with engineer/producer Peter Brownlee to record an album coming out in 2021 called Fixed Memory. The project’s first single, "Overwhelm", was featured on Spotify's <a href="spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DWWjGdmeTyeJ6" data-name="Fresh Finds">Fresh Finds</a> playlist and "Moon Seems Lost" was featured on <a href="spotify:playlist:6lex4gyuUtz2q2GR5Iczhu" data-name="Coffeehouse">Coffeehouse</a> and New Acoustic Indie Folk (2020) by Indie Folk Central, and is a part of Mahogany's Chilled Acoustic compilation.
