Deep amidst San Francisco’s Richmond neighborhood misty air and washed-out pastel blocks, Glenn Donaldson has been diligently creating minor masterpieces with rudimentary home technology for some time now. With The Reds, Pinks \u0026amp; Purples, Donaldson has finally created a vivid reflection of this dreary scene. You Might be Happy Someday is an oblique strand of SF outer-avenue cloud cover that stretches across the Atlantic to the grey docks of Bristol as captured in Sarah Records’ fetishized insert photos. Despite the deceptively congenial presentation, Happy is often a heavy record. After a litany of Donaldson’s past iterations (from experimental abstraction to post-punk and pop), The Reds, Pinks \u0026amp; Purples is Glenn D’s most personal project. Balanced awkwardly atop almost ironically upbeat jangles and rhythms Mitch Easter might have captured on his reel-to-reel are prime cuts of bummer pop. Almost every track is written in second person, creating a feeling of overheard private inner conversations-on-repeat: soft-lob criticisms, supportive friend advice and embarrassing confessions. A smeared window into the (kindly) cynical thoughts of a romantic misanthrope. Like the work of other U.S. depresso-pop purveyors East River Pipe, The Reds, Pinks \u0026amp; Purples’ mini-album is the kind of record that is both unsettling and comforting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Eye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39329845968951,"sku":"5055869547413","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/6218\/8087\/files\/new-vinyl-reds-pinks-purples-you-might-be-happy-someday-lp-new-colored-vinyl-31023051767863.jpg?v=1720577470","url":"https:\/\/hivoltagerecords.com\/products\/reds-pinks-purples-you-might-be-happy-someday-lp-new-colored-vinyl","provider":"Hi-Voltage Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
