A Sunny Day in Glasgow

Friday, November 20 at Memorial Union

     A Sunny Day in Glasgow includes twin sisters Robin and Lauren and their brother Ben along with three other nonrelated band mates.  They released their first EP in 2006 called The Sunniest Day Ever and their first studio album in 2007 called Scribble Mural Comic Journal.  Both of these were highly praised by music critics and especially enjoyed by the college music circuit.  They just released their newest album in September called Ashes Grammar.  
             I would summarize A Sunny Day in Glasgow's music as being a distortion of guitars over a drum loop with Robin and Lauren's vocals barely breaking free.  It's interesting how I like music that has clear, crisp vocals and I also like this combination of a distorted foundation of sound with the vocals fighting to escape it.  I might also like it just because A Sunny Day in Glasgow is able to pull this off without having the sound seem to muddle.  Like I said about WUD shows, it's a great free show at the Memorial Union, so mark your calendars and there's really no reason not to be there (unless you are late getting there because of the Cougar show earlier that night).  I'll see you there.
