Philadelphia, United States (2005 – present)
A Sunny Day in Glasgow began as a collaboration between friends Ben Daniels and Ever Nalens, both of whom had recently returned to Philadelphia after several years in the UK. The band name came from Nalens, who had been living in Glasgow, and Daniels kept it after Nalens left the project. In 2006, Daniels asked his twin sisters, Robin and Lauren, to start singing on the songs they had been working on. In March of that year the trio self-released The Sunniest Day Ever EP to great acclaim from college radio stations and blogs. Their debut release, Scribble Mural Comic Journal, came out February 2007 and received favorable reviews from Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound among others. Scribble Mural Comic Journal was recorded with one microphone in a bedroom in West Philly and pushed the boundaries of dream pop often drawing comparisons to My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins. During the summer of 2007 the band toured the United States including in-studios on KEXP and Radio K and released a handmade tour only EP titled Tout New Age which was subsequently released as a digitally only EP. A year later the band emerged for a performance at the Whitney Museum as part of the Wordless Music Series and an in-studio performance on WNYC. A month later they toured across the UK and France which was celebrated with a string of 7”s coming out labels as varied as Slumberland, Disjuncture and Georgraphic North.

definitely. they showed a lot of potential with their first lp. the cynic in me was kind of expecting a sophomore slump, but they delivered.

I love both albums as well. But I'm just really glad to have this evolution in their sound, their talents unfolding like meticulous origami into something even more grand than thought possible...

I somewhat agree with benjaminroosien, but I love both equally for both reasons, SMCJ for its highlight after highlight and Ashes Grammar as being a brilliantly written album with great flow. Both are equally great in their own way.

I wish the in-store set in Minneapolis would have been longer, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I heard.

I dunno, man. Ashes Grammar works exceedingly well as a whole, but Scribble Mural Comic Journal is just highlight after highlight. I mean, I really can't think of a weak track on it. Really, I can't think of a non-highlight-quality track on it. Each second of that album just kills.

after all this time, I think it's patently silly to consider the first one better.

So many people have been in ASDiG since the project started in 2006 - touring members especially have come and gone. But I am happy and excited to let you know that we now have what could really be called a stable line-up now. …
