Tough Love

The Reds, Pinks and Purples is a San Franciscan DIY kitchen pop project led by Glenn Donaldson. With live support from friends, this project creates captivating music that combines elements of indie pop and lo-fi aesthetics. Known for their heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, The Reds, Pinks and Purples have gained a loyal following in the music scene. Their unique sound and authentic approach to music make them a must-listen for fans of alternative pop.

Whereas the 2022 collection&nbsp;Summer at Land’s End&nbsp;was a softer, gauzier world,&nbsp;The Town That Cursed Your Name&nbsp;is heavier, with fuzzed lines running through. 'Leave It All Behind' starts out with an amorphous whine but quickly launches into something both supremely melodic and buzzing at the edges. 'Here Comes the Lunar Hand' is an impressionist geometry that seems to capture the album’s themes without telling you how. Lyrically, Donaldson embraces the earnestness of his heroes Paul Westerberg and Grant McLennan. Sonically, late '80s college rock is filtered through song-forward lo-fi acts like East River Pipe and&nbsp;House of Tomorrow-era Magnetic Fields. Like the images that accompany his releases – flowers and residential street scenes are pushed to the breaking point with colour – Donaldson’s songs are at the same time dazzling and lurid, beautiful and burdened, not unlike life as a musician around here.
