A Sunny Day In Glasgow/ Ashes Grammar
Dream-pop, indie, shoegaze, electronic, with female vocals. This album is full of glowing, pulsating beats with ringing, orbital electronic vibes. A sweeping blend of female vocals, and ambient, dreamy drones. Very abstract, experimental pop with a new sound in blissed –out unhurried pop. Really cool album of soundscapes! Similar to Asobi Seksu, Atlas Sound, Memory Tapes, Mahogany ALL FCC CLEAN!
Try 4, 6, 7, 8&9, 11,12 ,13, 18, 19, 20
