Riff: A Sunny Day In Glasgow – “Bye Bye Big Ocean (The End)”

Jun 17, 2014

Have you ever thought how long we’d be/If we never ever went to school/If we never learned how not to be/If we never were gonna die

from Bye Bye Big Ocean (The End) lyrics by A Sunny Day in Glasgow

ASDiG’s barrage of in-your-face, guitar-and-synth noise-pop post-rock buildups cascade over a message of hopeful “what-ifs.” The whole package sounds like M83, but after replacing the unnecessarily cartoonish ‘80’s homage with a bit of sonic harshness and distortion, and it’s a very welcome slant; [LISTEN].
