“These Philadelphia tweegazers lose themselves in the trebly haze of early Creation Records - pop melodies barely shining through all the layers of noise. Then they kill you with ramshackle C86 adorableness.” - Pitchfork , 8.0

“Philly's A Sunny Day in Glasgow is dreamy. Their Sunniest Day Ever EP is both creepy and awe-inspiring, with tracks like "C'mon," where atonal My Bloody Valentine noise rubs up against melodic pop. The quartet masters the clouds like no other." - XLR8R Magazine

“A Sunny Day in Glasgow are a band that gives dream-pop a fresh reference point. The Cocteau Twins can step down from their throne. This is an album of great ingenuity, one that deconstructs the best parts of tried-and-tested genres and pastes them into one sonically-astounding collage.” - Drowned in Sound


Hailing from Philadelphia-via-Montreal, A Sunny Day in Glasgow make dreamy pop music reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins, Jesus & Mary Chain, and early Aphex Twin, all the while maintaining a sound all their own - noisy but not "noise" - with lots of samplers, lush melodies, and loud guitars.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow began as a bedroom project of Ben Daniels and his twin sisters Robin and Lauren. They released their first EP The Sunniest Day Ever in 2006 (charting at number one on New York's WNYU) which provided them early acclaim and paved the way for their debut full length Scribble Mural Comic Journal on Brooklyn label Mis Ojos Discos.

In 2007, the Daniels siblings assembled a backing band of disparate musicians from various countries/states to tour in support of the critically acclaimed SMCJ. Shortly after, the group released the limited Tout New Age EP. Following their tours, Ben returned to school to finish his master's thesis - by the time he moved back to Philly sister Lauren had moved to Colorado to start grad school. Robin and Ben re-grouped in Philadelphia and assembled a more permanent line-up featuring Brice Hickey on bass and Josh Meakim on drums.
