Sea When Absent is the fourth studio album by American indie rock band A Sunny Day in Glasgow. It was released on June 24, 2014 by Lefse Records.[1] [2]
The recording of Sea When Absent was financed through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.[3] The album could be streamed through Pitchforks Advance service from June 16 to June 23, 2014.[4]
While it was widely reported that the members of A Sunny Day in Glasgow were never in the same room while making Sea When Absent, the band has clarified that this was not the case.[5] Band member Ben Daniels said: "I think that's an angle that's kind of over-played, because for most of the recording we were all definitely in the same room. We live in different cities, but we would meet up in Philadelphia to go to the studio together. Then we'd go back to where we lived, and keep working on it, so there was a little bit of both."[5]
Pitchfork accorded Sea When Absent a "Best New Music" designation; reviewer Lindsay Zoladz found that A Sunny Day in Glasgow had produced a more sonically abrasive work than their previous releases, "but without abandoning the ambiance that makes them so distinct."
