A Sunny Day in Glasgow
Welcome to the First CBBM of 2010. This Band Started with Ben Daniels when him and his friend Ever Nalens started making cassette recordings years before A Sunny Day in Glasgow got together. Nalens moved to Glasgow from 2002 to 2004 to go to art school, and Daniels moved to London about a year later. They started playing together again after Ben returned in the summer of 2005, but Nalens abandoned the project after a couple months but Daniels kept the name Daniels continued to write Lauren was brought in as a vocalist a few months later, and the group started recording tracks in Ben's West Philly apartment and at their parents. They put some of the tracks together and released them as an EP, called The Sunniest Day Ever, in March 2006. The EP charted at number one on New York's WNYU, the songs started bouncing around online, and soon enough Pitchfork gave the first track on their EP, "C'mon," a four-star rating. Indie labels started to pay attention, and the group scored a record deal with Notenuf Records in October 2006. They recorded their first full-length album, Scribble Mural Comic Journal in 2006 and released it in February of the following year. They're a great band if you're into Shoegaze and music that takes you to another place. Sounds Like: Mahogany,Atlas Sound,School of Seven Bells Website: http://www.asunnydayinglasgow.com/ |
