A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Fronted by identical twin sisters Lauren and Robin Daniels and masterminded by their brother Ben, A Sunny Day in Glasgow emerged in the early 2000's with synth-laden experimental noise-pop that echoed 1980's shoegaze acts like the Jesus and Mary Chain. Ben Daniels started making cassette recordings with the help of his friend Ever Nalens years before A Sunny Day in Glasgow got together.

Using mandolins, banjos, noise, samplers, lots of cuttin' n pastin', and all of the normal band instruments, Philadelphia's A Sunny Day in Glasgow adds lush female vocals and dance-y rhythms to make dreamy pop music. Distorted guitars alongside Robin and Lauren's vocals glisten for thirteen storied tracks on Scribble Mural Comic Journal. The album succeeds in marrying Cocteau Twins' other-wordliness, JAMC white noise, the best aspects of early Aphex Twin, and the jangle of "Strawberry Wine" era MBV t [ read more ]

At their core, A Sunny Day in Glasgow are a dream-pop band and Ashes Grammar is a dream-pop album. But even at their most accessible, there's an indescribable otherworldliness flowing through the band's music. Their music is all at once joyous, insecure, and blissed-out - and sounds nothing like we've heard from A Sunny Day in Glasgow before.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow recorded about 30 songs for their critically acclaimed debut LP 'Scribble Mural Comic Journal' but only 13 made it onto that record. Ben moved from Philadelphia to Montreal days after completing the record and it wasn't until his recent return to Philly that he had the opportunity to revisit those tracks left on the cutting room floor. Reunited with sisters Lauren and Robin, Ben was able to put the finishing touches on a number of promising songs and the result has been ass [ read more ]

"Failure," the heady, glimmering fourth track on A Sunny Day in Glasgow's second full-length, 2009's Ashes Grammar, might just sum up the anxiety that led to the release of this album: "Fall forward, feel failure." In the two years since their 2007 debut came out, ASDIG have endured some serious (and largely involuntary) changes: bassist Brice Hickey was out of commission soon after recording was underway thanks to a broken leg; founding vocalist Lauren Daniels, busy with grad school, coul [ read more ]
