Album Release Show At Brooklyn's Baby's All Right Set For June 18"Glaspy establishes herself as an uncanny chronicler of everyday neuroses" - PITCHFORK
"Pretty songs ofter turn prickly, enriched by carefully measured infusions of dissonance and grit" - THE NEW YORKER
Margaret Glaspy's debut album 'Emotions And Math' is out 6/17 via ATO Records, but you can stream it early today via The New Yorker. Kelefa Sanneh writes "The music is unadorned, the better to showcase Glaspy's electric guitar and her extraordinary voice, as well as her plainspoken lyrics, which are, by turns, gently sentimental and firmly not."

Pitchfork has also posted a review of 'Emotions and Math' today, saying the album "treats bad decisions and destructive impulses with compassionate clarity and heartfelt empathy."
Margaret will play a hometown album release show at Brooklyn's Baby's All Right on Saturday, 6/18, with Alexander F And Jennah Bell to open. The show falls in the midst of an extensive tour with Lucius and on the heels of a performance this weekend at Bonnaroo. Later this summer, she'll open select dates for Iron & Wine, play Lincoln Center with M. Ward, and make her debut at ACL Fest. Full list of dates below.
Vice says of Margaret Glaspy "Whatever expectation you might form for her, she will quickly upend it." The New York Times says, "Her voice is raspily matter-of-fact and her guitar delivers a blunt, distorted riff." NPR Music called her song "You And I" "one of the year's best kiss-off songs."
