Formed in 2015, under the moniker Glenn Echo, a nod to the street he grew up on, 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. Teaming up with engineer/producer Peter Brownlee, it’s hard to believe that Fixed Memory is Glenn Echo’s first album. The project’s first single, "Overwhelm", was featured on Spotify's Fresh Finds playlist and "Moon Seems Lost" was featured on Coffeehouse and New Acoustic Indie Folk (2020) by Indie Folk Central, and is a part of Mahogany's Chilled Acoustic compilation.
