Echoes Podcast: London Grammar’s In Love

Love, Loss Alienation with London Grammar: The Echoes Podcast  In the Echoes Podcast, the British dreampop trio, London Grammar. We talked to them in 2021 about their career and album, Californian Soil, an Echoes CD of the Month. Now they are back with their fourth album, The Greatest Love, also a CD of the Month. We’ve been told it’s a rare thing to get all three member, Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman together for an interview, but you will hear all three today in the Echoes Podcast. They talk about the usual: love, loss, alienation as well as Hannah Reid’s greatest love, her newborn child. But that’s not what the song is about. Hannah Reid: You know, it’s funny, I’ve said to Dan a few times that sometimes it feels like my lyrics are a bit prophetic in a way. This song was actually written long before I had my son, but it does take on a new meaning for me now. I do think of him when I think of this album. London Grammar has been on of the most singular acts of the 21st century. They released their debut album called If You Wait,  in 2013, lead by a single they first dropped independently on the internet, “Hey Now.” We were instantly seduced by the voice of Hannah Reid and the orchestrations of Dan Rothman and Dot Major. We talk to them in the Echoes Podcast. Read John Diliberto’s review of The Greatest Love. Read John Diliberto’s review of Californian Soil
