What would shoegaze sound like if it had its eyes on the sky? Over the

of several albums, the intercontinental six-piece A Sunny Day in Glasgow have

been toying with an answer to that riddle. Their latest and best record, Sea

When Absent, has an atmospheric, bleeding-watercolor quality that makes it

sound a little bit like a My Bloody Valentine record if the moodiness and

pensiveness were replaced with a feeling of almost violently explosive joy

Beneath dense textures, melodies pop like fireworks. Like their previous

albums, Sea When Absent doesn't sound like much else out there; genre tags are

only worth mentioning to show how they don't quite fit. It sometimes sounds

like a psych record, made not by the kids smoking up behind the bleachers but

the most devoted members of the glee club



Since their freewheeling 2007 debut Scribble Mural Comic Journal, A Sunny Day

in Glasgow have flown under the radar, apart from any discernible trends

Until now, their greatest achievement has been their criminally under-heard

2009 album Ashes Grammar, a panoramic collection of pastel-soft dream-pop that

moved fluidly between ambient passages and hazy but immaculately structured

pop songs like "Failure" and "Passionate Introverts Dinosaurs)". Actually

passionate introverts" is a pretty good way to describe at least one member

of the band: the guitarist and ostensible leader Ben Daniels, a

biostatistician who moved in 2009 from Philadelphia to Australia. "I am pretty

antisocial," he said recently, when asked if he still felt connected to the

Philadelphia scene. "I know that if I were in Philly I'd still mostly be

hanging out in my apartment reading books and playing with synthesizers." That

makes sense: Even in its most ambitiously full-screen moments, A Sunny Day in

Glasgow's music has a certain bedroom-pop feel. Community often makes for

great art, but music as unique and unclassifiable as ASDIG's usually springs

from somebody shutting himself in his room and trusting his own weird way of

seeing the world



Ashes Grammar was a sprawling and occasionally drifting record, but Sea When

Absent finds the band tightening up their sound just enough, bringing the

interlocking vocals of their two singers, Jen Goma and Annie Fredrickson, to

the forefront of the mix. For the first time, they've brought on an outside

producer, Jeff Zeigler War on Drugs, Kurt Vile), and though he's helped

clarify their sound, that doesn't come at the expense of complexity. Each song

on Sea When Absent structured like a maze: it's easyand dizzying in the best

wayto get lost in its twists and turns. "The Things They Do to Me" begins as

weightless, space-rock reverie and then abruptly makes a hard left into a more

pastoral earth-bound soundscape; "The Body, It Bends" pivots between an

unassuming acoustic folk tune and a song that ought to have its own laser

light show at a planetarium; a towering riff crashes down in the middle of

Boys Turn Into Girls Initiation Rites)", sudden as a summer storm. These

tonal shifts are so dynamic that they sound fresh on every listen; you could

hear these songs 100 times and they'd still find ways to catch by surprise

Music that overflows with so many ideas runs the risk of sounding cluttered

but Sea When Absent manages to avoid that pitfall. And that's pretty

impressive, given the disjointed way it was recorded: The six members of the

band Daniels, Goma, Fredrickson, drummer Adam Herndon, bassist Ryan Newmyer

and multi-instrumentalist Josh Meakim) are now scattered across Australia, New

York, and Philadelphia, and the album came together as they sent each other

snippets of songs, with creative decisions made via lengthy group email

chains. The result is an album structured in layers with many overlapping

ideas, as fragmentary and luminous as light through a prism. The sweetly

singsong-y "MTLOV Minor Keys)" has the feel of a round, with Goma and

Fredrickson's voices braided into rich harmonies. Then there's the stone-cold

gorgeous "In Love With Useless The Timeless Geometry in the Tradition of

Passing)", which flirts with moments of dissonance and glitchiness the

pre-chorus sounds like nothing so much as a poorly connected Skype call) only

to make the moments of sudden clarity feel that much more satisfying



When A Sunny Day in Glasgow put out "In Love With Useless" as a single, they

also released a lyric video for itwhich is kind of funny, because they're not

exactly a "lyrics band." Granted, they've pushed the vocals higher into the

mix this time around, but it's usually next to impossible to understand what

Goma and Fredrickson are singing. Not that it matters; ASDIG's music is more

about the experience of getting blissfully lost in a feeling, and if their

music were too literal or word-based it might take you out of that odd

dreamlike state

When Ashes Grammar came out," Daniels recently recalled, "I thought it was a

really loud rock record for a year, and then a friend was like, 'This is

really chilled-out and ambient.'" With Sea When Absent, A Sunny Day in Glasgow

have finally made that loud rock recordfull of crashing percussion and

screaming guitarsbut without abandoning the ambiance that makes them so

distinct. Sea When Absent has the quality of one of those spectacularly bright

summer days when they color in everything seems a little over-saturated, and

it induces the same dizzy, woozy feeling you get after staring directly at the

sun. Play it loud enough to see spots
