For A Sunny Day In Glasgow (SDG), if an idea seems far out, it needs further poking, prodding, and finally some love and attention. At the same time, the band is not one to erase and reformat their sweet, simple, and na\u00efve indie-pop styling in the interest of experimentation. Autumn, Again<\/i> might be a \u201cfree download\u201d album of rejects \u2013 originally recorded for the band\u2019s previous effort Ashes Grammar<\/i> \u2013 but the musical weirdness seems anything but out of place.<\/p>\n
The chaos of cacophony at the beginning of \u201cFall In Love\u201d that quickly dissipates is just the sort of mischievous segues \u2013 sometimes as separate intro cuts \u2013 that add a touch of surprise to the collection of some of the sweetest pop songs ever. This is a band that unflinchingly embraces the idiosyncrasies and dispositions of shoegazer, and so their ultra-sweet pop songs have a dreamy aura; they are almost like dream-pop for a new generation of kids.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, the band puts little twist on their shoegazer groove, and plays the music like it used to be played in the good old days with the most minimum dainty synthesizer effects, like on \u201cDrink Drank Drunk,\u201d which would bring some serious tears of joy to fans of Lush. But for the most part, SDG\u2019s beautifully twisted indie pop world coexists in harmony with the band\u2019s shoegazer golden calf, producing soulfully singable and danceable, angelic melodies like \u201cHow Does Somebody Say When They Like You,\u201d which has a modern neo hipster spin. However, the music is not without the sense of melancholy of the shoegazer-era that\u2019s either missing or tempered in today\u2019s indie world. Autumn, Again\u2019s<\/i> wistfulness is as haunting as its music.<\/p>\n
Autumn, Again<\/i> is a wonderfully imaginative pop record. Its complexities aren\u2019t as challenging as they are charming. It is impossible to imagine this set of songs as rejects — but at least they found the light of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":30541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8663],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-42208","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-a-sunny-day-in-glasgow","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=42208"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=42208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
