Reds, Pinks & Purples, The Vinyl Records
Indie pop project the Reds, Pinks & Purples is the creation of singer/songwriter Glenn Donaldson, someone dedicated to the pristine melodies and unvarnished emotions of mid-period Sarah Records and indie pop outsiders like East River Pipe. Working mostly alone, he released a string of singles and albums, like 2021's exquisite Uncommon Weather, that showcase his laser-focused vision, intimate vocals, and unerring way with a hook. 2022's Summer at Land's End showed him expanding his musical reach to include the influence of the ethereal sounds of late '80s 4AD bands like This Mortal Coil.
