A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Brute Heart, The Bombay Sweets, and Whitesand/Badland at Eclipse Records
Congratulating a young pop twiddler for discovering "shoegaze" or "ambient" sounds these days would be like praising a kid for discovering farts. That makes it all the more pleasing when a new band actually uses the far end of the reverb dial to expand its possibilities instead of just clumsily diving into pretty static. Philadelphia's A Sunny Day In Glasgow does feature two female singers (twin sisters!) bounding through moon-canyons of echo-blasted pop melody on this year's Ashes Grammar, but the production takes at least a hint from the fractured pulses of Aphex Twin, leaving plenty of open space and even a bit of mystery between the mounds of sugar.
