Another Sunny Day was the pseudonym for multi-instrumentalist Harvey Williams under which he recorded a half-dozen or so singles on Sarah Records.

The (in)famous “Anorak City” flexi was a scratchy scene “anthem” celebrating (with tongue perhaps only partly in cheek) the siren allure of indie-trainspotterdom. “You Should All Be Murdered” was indie pop’s curmudgeonly and vaguely Smiths-esque answer to Harry Secombe’s ”If I Ruled The World”. And then came perhaps the most “Sarah in a nutshell” single of them all, a heady collision of obsessive-romanticism, gorgeous twelve-string shimmer and just the right redemptive twinkle of knowing irony: “I’m in Love With a Girl Who Doesn’t Know I Exist”. “So I’ll just lie and dream of the chances I’ve missed…”

All these singles are collected onto the London Weekend compilation. Harvey later went on to record several albums under his own name.

ASD is by far one of the best twee/indiepop bands. Harvey Williams is unbelievable.

Great stuff. Second only to The Field Mice in the Sarah-roster.

I love the Smiths, but this band sound best when they are not trying to imitate them.

I am totally in love with London Weekend right now ... it's everything that I could possible want from a forgotten English indie band from the 80s. I want to cover "Can't You Tell It's True" but I can't make out the lyrics "maybe I just got confused but / I wish that I was dead" I can't figure out what he's saying until the chorus comes. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it, I suck at figuring out lyrics.
