The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Let's Pretend We're Not in Love by Slumberland Records published on 2021-05-03T23:04:51Z "Summer at Land's End" is the 4th LP from The Reds, Pinks & Purples, Glenn Donaldson’s solo kitchen pop "band." Since 2019 The Reds, Pinks & Purples have built an obsessive, ever-growing following by combining regular vinyl releases with occasional drops of new songs on Bandcamp. 2021's "Uncommon Weather" was something of a breakthrough and the brilliantly ambitious "Summer At Land's End" builds on it artistically in just about every way. It's expansively cinematic and atmospheric, while still being full of well-crafted, catchy melodic pop tunes. "Let's Pretend We're Not in Love" is a perfect example of this balancing act, an exercise in pop economy that sounds so immediately 'right' that it seems destined for a thousand mix tapes. Lush yet intimate, and redolent of both Glenn's beloved SF fog and the 80s/90s pop that he loves so deeply. Genre Indie Comment by lightbeam Greatness, as always 🤍 2023-05-07T12:51:24Z
