A Sunny Day In Glasgow

Biography

Introduction

A Sunny Day in Glasgow are a brother-and-sisters pop group from Philadelphia, formed in 2006.

Background

A Sunny Day in Glasgow began as a collaboration between friends Ben Daniels and Ever Nalens, both of whom had recently returned to Philadelphia after several years in the UK. The band name came from Nalens, who had been living in Glasgow, and Daniels kept it after Nalens left the project. Daniels also asked his twin sisters, Robin and Lauren, to start singing on the songs they had been working on.

In March 2006 the band collected several songs and released them as an EP titled, The Sunniest Day Ever. The EP received attention from College Radio, charting #1 on NYU's WNYU, as well as music blogs, with Pitchfork contributing an early, favorable review.

In the Fall of 2006 the band signed to Notenuf Records and eventually released their debut LP, Scribble Mural Comic Journal in February 2007. The record received widespread critical acclaim with Pitchfork giving the record an "8.0" and "Recommended" rating, while Drowned in Sound gave the album a "9/10" and called it a "contender for album of the year." The band compiled outtakes from earlier recording sessions and released them as the Tout New Age EP in the Summer of 2007.
