"So, do you think you'll be able to do it? Your order said that you were the best, but I've been living on this farm for thirty winters, and I've never seen a canalfish infestation this bad before. My irrigation channels are so full of them that damn near half my crops are dead, and the other half aren't long to follow." The farmer crossed her arms and frowned.

The agrimancer placed a comforting hand on the farmer's shoulder. "Don't you worry," she said. "I've never met a canalfish infestation I couldn't handle, and I'm sure that once they're gone, all of your crops are gonna spring back up like the day they first broke soil. Now, where are these canals?"

The farmer took the agrimancer out to the back field, and after several minutes hiking through the parched fields in the summer heat, they were there. The agrimancer took one look into the irrigation canals, so full of writhing fish that it looked like there was more fish there than water, and gave an impressed whistle. "You sure weren't kidding, huh? This has gotta be one of the worst I've ever seen."

The farmer covered her face with her hands. "Damn, I knew it was bad. We've had a bad few years here, and if I lose this crop I could lose the entire farm." A few tears rolled down her face, carving clean lines in the dust that covered it before falling to the ground and disappearing into the dry earth.

"Hey, it's okay," the agrimancer said as she set down her duffel bag on the bank of the canal and began to take out her ceremonial garb. She pulled the oilskin boots on, all the way up to just above her knees, before putting on an ancient vest, made in the style of those-who-lived-before-the-bombs, and finished the outfit with a curiously-shaped hat, whose brim covered only the front of her face, leaving the parts of her neck not covered by her ponytail fully exposed to the sun. "I wasn't kidding when I said that I've never met a canalfish infestation I couldn't handle. This one will be no different."

The agrimancer waded into the water, enjoying the contrast of the cool water on this hot day, silently thankful that she had her oilskin boots to keep her legs and feet dry. She let the magic of the earth and growing things seep into her, and she directed it back out into the water. The canalfish barely noticed at first, but the agrimancer pulled more and more energy into herself and pumped more and more into the water, in pulses that could almost be seen by the naked eye as ever widening circles of canalfish gave in to panic and tried to flee from her as quickly as their slippery bodies would allow.

Over the next few hours the agrimancer walked up and down the canals, using regular pulses of magic to send the fish into a blind panic. Little by little she forced the fish back into the stream from which they had arrived, until each of the irrigation channels that the farmer depended on were clear and flowing with water again. The agrimancer put her hand on the grate separating the canals from the stream, and forced as much magic into it as it could take. "That oughta keep those fish away," she said out loud to nobody in particular. "At least for a few years."

The day was hot, and the agrimancer was thankful to see the farmer waiting for her on the back porch with a cold jug of lemonade. "Fish problem's sorted," the agrimancer said, pointing over her shoulder with her thumb. "I enchanted your grate too, so you shouldn't have to worry about any more of them for at least a few more years."

"Oh, thank you, thank you!" The farmer leaned forward and gave the agrimancer a crushing hug. "You've saved me. Please, join me for some lemonade." The farmer pulled out two chairs at the small table on the porch. When they were both seated, she poured two glasses of lemonade, and the two of them drank, cooled off, and chatted. It turned out that they both had many shared interests beyond just agriculture, and as the afternoon turned into evening, both of them couldn't help but feel like they must have known each other for more than just one day.

When the sun was finally setting the agrimancer realized she'd have to get going right now if she wanted to be home before dark. "Well, I should probably get going," she said, feeling more than a little crestfallen that she had to leave her new friend so quickly. By the looks of it, the farmer shared her feelings on this matter. "I'll go ahead and pack up if you want to write the check." The farmer nodded and walked back into the house to grab her checkbook.

The agrimancer pulled off her oilskin boots and placed them at the bottom of her open duffel bag. Then came the vest, folded neatly on top of the boots. Just as the agrimancer was about to take off the ceremonial hat, the farmer came back with the check. She handed it to the agrimancer, who verified that the amount was good, but couldn't help but notice that there was an unfamiliar number in the memo section. She held up the check and pointed to it. "What's this?"

The farmer blushed. "That's my telegraph number. I had a lot of fun today, and I was wondering if you wanted to go to the summer's end festival next week, as a… as a, um… as a date?" The farmer's face turned bright red under its usual light brown.

"I'd love nothing more," the agrimancer said, gently folding the check and putting it into her pocket. She smiled. "It's a date." She took off her ceremonial hat and placed it on top of the folded up vest inside her duffel bag. As she zipped up the duffel bag, the last thing visible in the bag was the incantation embroidered on the front of the hat, written in the ancient language spoken by people long ago, back before a crashing, searing wave of nuclear fire rebuilt the world:

"Women want me. Fish fear me."

Ashes Grammar- A Sunny Day In Glasgow: 10th Anniversary

Of all the artists that emerged throughout the prior decade, there wasn’t another quite as elusive, mercurial, and underappreciated as A Sunny Day in Glasgow. They released their debut record, Scribble Mural Comic Journal in 2007, and its homespun concoction of hazy atmospherics and sun-kissed melodies that peaked out from beneath layers of playful noise bridged the gap between Creation Records and Flying Nun, but it also established them as an island unto themselves. They seemed considerably more reserved than most of their peers, and not nearly as easy to peg. Two years later they dropped their stellar sophomore LP, Ashes Grammar, and all those points became even more pronounced. AG is a collection of 22 tracks that run from 11 seconds to just under 6 and a half minutes, and the sequencing is impeccable. Nothing sounds accidental or ill-placed, and while the idea of an album playing through like a single song is a tired cliché at this point, there are few records that fit that description as well as AG. The record is more fleshed out and stranger than its predecessor, and the palpable glee that the band have as they take immense risks throughout is infectious. It’s one long, joyful dream that finds the band upending the well-worn conventions of shoegaze and dream pop to delirious affect, and in the process creating a future benchmark for these respective genres.

 AG unfolds like a euphoric fever dream pitched somewhere between a religious ceremony and a twee dance party. ASDiG was a seven-piece band when they recorded AG, and so unsurprisingly there’s quite a bit going on at all times. There’s a sharp pop sensibility coursing throughout the record’s veins, but the band rarely engages that impulse directly, more often than not they tuck their melodies under waves of guitar distortion, four on the floor beats, and a wide assortment of texture. When the melodies are pronounced, as on “Close Chorus”, or “The White Witch” the results are simply breathtaking, and that playful sense of mischief that renders those moments far and few between is a large part of the record’s appeal. The vocals are consistently gorgeous but many of the actual lyrics are indiscernible, and so even when the vocals soar they still function as additional texture. On many of the songs the vocals don’t seem like the true focal point of the music, but there are plenty of stunning vocal melodies and harmonies throughout AG that negate the sense that they were an afterthought. And for a band that understandably scans entirely as headphone music, ASDiG provide these songs with quite a bit of infectious rhythm that you can actually dance to. The juxtaposition between the rhythms and the rest of the arrangements that their songs are composed of is remarkably fluid from start to finish, which gives AG on the whole a potential appeal beyond the the vast majority of comparable contemporaries.

The majority of the tracks that AG consists of scan far closer to sketches and interludes than they do proper songs. There are a few obvious high points that are far more fleshed out than the bulk of what’s here, but most of the songs on AG are just a few minutes long, and develop their ideas quickly without overstaying their welcome. In this way AG is more reminiscent of a Flying Lotus record in structure than most of the obvious shoegaze and dream pop touchstones that they’re building off of sonically, and that approach remains engaging because it consistently keeps the listener on their toes. No two songs sound alike, but they’re clearly the work of the same band, and more so than any other ASDiG record AG showcases a staggering amount of range from a fairly well-defined set of parameters. Songs like “Headphone Space” and “The White Witch” are among the best songs that ASDiG ever recorded, and necessitate their respective lengths to develop their exceptional melodies and mesmerizing arrangements. Most of the record is told through short, sweet bursts like the touching guitar drone of “Miss My Friends”, the stomp/clap rhythm and high-pitched synth squeal of “Canalfish”, or the alluring combination of bass, harmonica, and sleigh bells on “Loudly”. These songs succeed in building an engrossing patchwork of disparate pieces that, when listened to within the proper sequencing, showcase a staggering amount of growth from their relatively lean and more straightforward debut.

While every track on AG bleeds together superbly, there are a few songs here that loom large over everything else. Opening to clanging guitar riffs, a simple tom beat, and a gorgeous, wordless vocal melody, “The White Witch” takes a little over a minute to establish its presence before the arrangements break away to reveal a gorgeous dream pop song hiding beneath the squalls of distortion. The song chugs along for another two minutes steadily incorporating additional guitar overdubs before dipping into a mesmerizing outro with the surging guitar easing up for an emphasis on pure atmosphere. The following song “Nitetime rainbow” is one of the more interesting songs on AG, and opens to a rapid-fire procession of hi-hats while waves of bright synths wash over them. A hand-clap/kick drum rhythm emerges alongside scattered chants, faint harmonies, and jangly guitars that create an alluring framework, but everything dissipates shortly thereafter, replaced with nothing but a four on the floor bounce. That tension of building up their arrangements, and quickly cutting them back down persists throughout the following few minutes, and as the song concludes they bring everything back for a satisfying conclusion that transitions superbly into “Canalfish”. The 41 second interlude “Life’s Great” only exists for pure kindling, but it’s a perfect segue into closer “Headphone Space”, the grand culmination of everything that the band accomplished on AG. On “Headphone Space” ASDiG set colorful synths that explode like fireworks against a throbbing low-end while angelic harmonies triumphantly swirl around the chaos in pitch-perfect harmony.

While many of the songs on AG are among their best, the absolute best song that ASDiG has ever released is hands down “Close Chorus”. A quick burst of kick drums ignites an immediately entrancing vocal melody that the band lay softly over synths that swell with euphoria, jangly guitars, and a bouncing bassline. Shortly afterwards they add a hi-hat polyrhythm, and continue to build on this groove before everything drops away save for the vocal melody, a procession of heavenly harmonies, and a kick/snare rhythm. “Close Chorus” then hits a bridge that locks everything into a sort of spiraling stasis before a chugging hi-hat/kick rhythm comes barreling into the mix alongside the guitar, bass, and synth motifs from earlier. After the vocals return to build the intensity back up “Close Chorus” erupts into a fit of pure ecstasy propelled by their finest vocal melody to date. ASDiG then go into a legitimate guitar solo that flexes their pedal board acumen, and from there the song crescendo’s into one of the most cathartic moments in any song that I’ve ever listened to. It’s difficult to genuinely talk about a song as good as “Close Chorus” and do it justice without lapsing into hyperbole, but it’s the kind of song that you remember where you were when you first heard it, and it’s a perfect demonstration of ASDiG firing on all cylinders while making something that no one else could have.

After AG ASDiG continued to undergo several more lineup changes, most notably adding Jen Goma into the fold whose vocals played an increasingly large role in defining their sound on subsequent LPs. Following AG came their short and sweet Nitetime Rainbows EP in early 2010, their underrated third LP, Autumn Again, in late 2010, their masterful fourth LP, Sea When Absent, in mid-2014, the surprisingly heavy and too brief No Death EP in early 2015, and a solid double EP called Planning Weed Like It’s Acid / Life Is Loss in late 2015. They’ve never released anything that’s less than good, but their profile has never really seemed to rise above unanimous critical acclaim, and outside of specific music-obsessive circles they remain almost universally unknown. No other artist has managed to fuse shoegaze, dream pop, psychedelic pop, and experimental electronic music in a way that’s anywhere near as exciting or singular since ASDiG dropped SMCJ in 2007. While AG doesn’t quite sustain the immediacy of SMCJ, nor does it consistently impress with its songwriting like SWA, AG is nonetheless an impressive work of art that finds the fluid septet’s sound crystallizing into something wonderfully inimitable. ASDiG have always seemed to own their elusiveness though, and just like the rest of their records, AG seems meant to have been a lost secret brimming with colorful vistas worth exploring for those curious and patient enough to give them the time that they necessitate.

Essentials: “Close Chorus”, “The White Witch”, “Headphone Space”
