Synopsis

Album Description

2008 release of the incredible debut from Philly based, A Sunny Day in Glasgow who have caused a minor stir in the US on blogs and websites (8/10 on pitchfork)as they filter over to the UK. The band uses mandolins, samplers, banjos, noise, lots of cuttin' and pastin' with all of the normal band instruments, plus lush female vocals and dance-y rhythms to make dreamy Pop music. The album succeeds in marrying Cocteau Twin's otherworldliness, the best aspects of Aphex Twin, and the jangle of "strawberry wine" era My Bloody Valentine to create a sublime Pop music for fans of early 90's creation records, Sonic Cathedral, Deerhunter, Cocteaus, Slowdive, Seefeel, My Bloody Valentine.

CD Reviews

Shoegaze rock re-invented

bowery boy | seattle | 07/28/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Take a healthy dose of My Bloody Valentine and Treasure-era Cocteau Twins, sprinkle with a bit of Lush and Curve and top off with subtle electronics and unintrusive dance beats and you pretty much have A Sunny Day In Glasgow. It's a fresh re-invention of those shoegaze bands from the early 90's but a touch more dancier with a bit more haze and shimmer, and slightly more experimental. My favorite tracks are A Mundane Phonecall... and Lists, Plans. If you were a fan of the myriad shoegaze bands back in the day and are looking for a new take on it, I suggest picking this up now. You won't be disappointed."
