A Sunny Day in Glasgow



I dig ASDiG. I have been following this band since their debut, "Scribble Mural Comic Journal" came out a few years ago and immediately blew my mind. It's one of those records that makes everyone ask you "who is this?". It seemed for a while though that they were not going to last as one by one, the original members seemed to lose interest in the project and move onto to other things. Founder Ben Daniels managed to keep it going though and it seems they've finally come into their own as a band. Their new album "Ashes Grammar" was well worth the wait.

I saw them play at Great Scott's in Allston last night and their set was awesome! Alot of their music sounds like it would be dependent on technology and the recording process because it's so detailed but they pulled it all off flawlessly last night. Very impressive to hear live. For a band based on guitar/bass/drums their music feels very "electronic". Any of their studio albums are worth hunting down online and I strongly recommend the vinyl version of "Scribble Mural" for it's Side D remixes (Asobi Seksu's is mint).

Here's a recording of them playing live at Radio K in Minnesota.
