Details
New label for this release (same barcode etc), the incredible debut from (now) philly based a sunny day in glasgow; already causing a minor stir in the us on blogs and websites (8/10 on pitchfork)now beginning to filter over to the uk, (9/10 on drowned in sound last week): using mandolins, samplers, banjos, noise, lots of cuttin and pastin and all of the normal band instruments, asdig adds lush female vocals and dance-y rhythms to make dreamy pop music. the album succeeds in marrying cocteau twin's otherworldliness, jamc white noise bliss, the best aspects of aphex twin, and the jangle of "strawberry wine" era my bloody valentine to create a sublime pop music. for fans of early 90's creation records, Sonic Cathedral, Deerhunter, Cocteaus, slowdive, seefeel, my bloody valentine, even panda bear or 65daysofstatic. highly recommended! On tour in UK at end of July, one of the best records of the past 12 months.
