Late last month, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, dropped track listing info for their upcoming release, Ashes Grammar. Two weeks later, we are given some audible treats. As a matter of fact, these are actually two tracks tied together that segue into one another with seamless beauty. After a few spins of “Ashes Grammar/Ashes Math”, it appears that they are set to head down the same path of synth driven shoegaze that brought me to love 2007’s Scribble Mural Comic Journal. To be released by Mis Ojos, Ashes Grammar, is already set for pre-order in CD format and a very rare 2xLP pressing (only 250 worldwide) in multi-colored vinyl. Get ‘em while you can, limited to one per order.

Another phenominal release from UK’s The Big Pink to follow up “Velvet”. No worries, this time the album art is safe for productive work internet surfing (unlike last time [NSFW]). “Stop the World”, also released by 4AD, also showcases that Brits still possess a stronghold on shoegazing. More of a pop-y side to their catalogue, producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Futureheads, etc.) steps in to leave his touch on this track. Finally releasing album information, The Big Pink will release their debut LP, A Brief History of Love, on September 14th via 4AD and “every song is a love song to some degree, about every different aspect of love”.
and from their previous single:
