It seems like there are more shoegaze bands last year than there were in 1987, but when a record like A Sunny Day in Glasgow's Ashes Grammar comes along you can't help but root on the revival. Traces of Factory, Creation, and 4AD float along blurred melodies and ambient atmospherics; and when ASDIG gets catchy on gems like "Failure," they sound like Lush if, instead of forsaking gauzy shoegaze for hooky Britpop, they had grafted them together into a rapturous pop hybrid. It's a sound the band is still perfecting on their latest EP, Nitetime Rainbows.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow says:

A Sunny Day in Glasgow are a band from Philadelphia that plays dreamy pop music that uses lots of samples, guitars, and melodies. Their new record, Ashes Grammar, is out now, everywhere. Their new new record, The Nitetime Rainbows EP, will be released on clear vinyl and download on March 2, 2010.
