Earlier this month, we posted the trailer for the Black Cab Sessions ' tour through the USA, which included a stop in Philadelphia and recording sessions with several local acts. The Philly-centric part of the trailer specifically lists performances by Freeway, Spank Rock, Meg Baird, Kyp Malone, Plastic Little, and Reading Rainbow; back when they were here last November , we noted that they had recorded with Grandchildren as well. For now, however, babelgum.com has videos of sessions with Strand Of Oaks and A Sunny Day In Glasgow. You can watch both videos below; more videos of the Black [...]

Photograph by Handsome Joel Hansen The holidays tend to be rife with tension, and our Ca Va Cool family is no exception. Picking only 20 albums from 20102s offerings is tricky; every year, some fantastic records/EPs/tracks are overlooked. Our super-secret ranking process starts from civilized debate and degenerates into name-calling, tantrums and sulking. To pacify the whiners and to give you, the readers, more awesome music, we present our 2010 mixtape. Thanks for reading us, and happy 2011! Ca Va Cool 2010 Mixtape - Disc One 1. School [...]

Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2010 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. Therefore in the next two weeks, we'll be posting multiple Top 10 Albums of 2010 lists as determined by Loud Loop Press editors and contributors. Today, contributor Britni Day body slams us with her list for Top 10 Albums of 2010. Before we start, I'm sure my lovely Editor-In-Chief, Richard Giraldi, would like me to [...]
Philadelphia's A Sunny Day in Glasgow is a band I've not given much thought to in the past. Never entirely sold on anything I've heard, the band gave away an entire album I didn't much care for back in October. That being said, I was a bit surprised when I saw the video for "So...

[Photos from SXSW by Matthew Solarski. See his Flickr stream here ] We last checked in with Philadelphia's A Sunny Day in Glasgow back in March, when they treated us to an excellent set at Bell House . Since then, the band has toured extensively in the U.S. and abroad, and found the time to produce an excellent followup to their last release, the Nitetime Rainbows EP, with the dreamy Autumn, Again . Annie Fredrickson and Jen Goma continue to tighten their vocal harmonies, and the band's show this time around [...]

You know those perfect weekends. They peak at the height of Saturday nights more often than not dancing to some golden pop, hanging with a random crew who for a few hours are the ONLY people in the world you want to be with. Then things slow a little, people gather to continue elsewhere and you mellow out in a taxi to a place you've never been where some good people calm you down with some easy tunes, a cheeky late drink or even a welcome cup of tea and toast. Then it's 6am, someone throws a duvet over you [...]

Non so se sia da considerare un pregio o un difetto, ma spesso la musica degli A Sunny Day in Glasgow riesce ad avere una forma inafferrabile, qualcosa che sfugge all'ascolto e filtra nel sogno a occhi aperti. Sarà per via del loro amore dichiarato per i My Bloody Valentine, o forse una conseguenza dei loro numerosi e non sempre agevoli cambi di formazione. Quale che sia la risposta, dopo due album all'attivo, tre ep e svariati singoli, la band di Philadelphia ha ora reso disponibile in free download il suo ultimo lavoro sulla lunga distanza, [...]
Autumn, Again is a sort of odds and sods collection intended for fans as a reward for supporting the band for the scant four years it has been in existence. Only the most diehard of those who enjoy this group will, alas, find anything worthy of substance to be found. Being a reviewer means that you sometimes come across an item by a band that has been publically lauded in other quarters and have to tell the world that, well, the Emperor is really wearing no clothes. Naturally, this doesn't make one popular sometimes, but it's a dirty [...]

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Belle & Sebastian, Atlas Sound, High Places "A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Drink Drank Drunk" What's so good? It's always sunny in Philadelphia for A Sunny Day in Glasgow, the band fronted by Ben Daniels from the City of Brotherly Love. On their dreamy new EP, Autumn, Again , Daniels orchestrates bandmates Jen Goma and Annie Frederickson's airy vocals as they disperse through a static haze. The result is an album of uniquely [...]
Basking in the sprightly, reverb-drenched aesthetic of Cocteau Twins, Ride, and My Bloody Valentine, A Sunny Day in Glasgow 's Autumn, Again owes a great debt to the UK rock scene of the '80s. But, buried underneath those enveloping, slapback sounds is the band's sense of modernity, as well; pulsing electro-rhythms and austere monosynths rival leader Ben Daniels' chorus-heavy guitar clangs throughout, even taking prominence at some points. The album is comprised of the final material from the prolific Ashes Grammar sessions, so it's unsurprising that the content here is largely consistent with what came [...]

Few weeks I posted White Denim's 'Last Day of Summer' a free album and perhaps one of my favourite releases of the year, well here is A Sunny Day in Glasgow to make me wonder why I ever bothered buying music from this year, when so many good albums are just given away (legitimately like). 'Autumn, Again' is essentially a collection of left-overs tracks and musical ideas they had hanging around their brains from the last album 'Ashes Grammar'. It's more of the ethereal (have I not used that word only a few [...]

A Sunny Day In Glasgow - "Drink, Drank, Drunk" The most surprising part of this song comes at the very beginning - a clear, bold lead vocal in a Sunny Day In Glasgow song! As the song moves along, we get back into their comfort zone of soft-focus haziness. It's a gentle slide from lucidity to dreaminess, and the shifts in the composition mirror the progression in the title. The lyrics follow a similar path - they start off very assertive and direct, attempting to talk someone out of bad behavior, but as the song gains momentum [...]
