Ashes Grammar is the second full-length album from A Sunny Day in Glasgow, released on LP, CD, and mp3 formats on September 15, 2009 by Mis Ojos Discos. The vinyl version was limited to 200 copies. It has a different sleeve and a slightly different track listing compared to the other formats (the track Blood White appears between Passionate Introverts and West Philly Vocoder).

Recording

The album was recorded in large dance studio in Lambertville, New Jersey from September–December 2008 by Josh Meakim and Ben Daniels.[8] Due to school commitments and injuries Ashes Grammar is the first ASDiG album to feature vocalists other than twin sisters Robin & Lauren Daniels [9]
