"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.

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This track was recorded mainly around the spring of 2020, in my home studio.
That's also the first composition where my self crafted technique : surfing with feedback, was born. 

Mixed using 2 old vintage boomboxes.

You can now buy digitally "Unreleased (2018-2020) Vol. I", which is the album where this track is featured, by simply following this link : https://tinyurl.com/yck4mnaa

lyrics:
Driving that same dirt road
Breaking my back again
Crashing that same ol’ car 
Chasing my own demise
Taking you down with my own two eyes
Falling asleep with just a simple smile

Consequence of you 
Consequence of me 
Consequence of you and me 
Making the space for that second chance
Consequence of you and me
Betting a dance on this doomed romance

Consequence

Dumbo Gets Mad - Indian Food

Heard your voice in my head too soon
Pass girl, say it
It all could come, oh baby make up your mind
Please make up your mind

So we let a stone unturned
Maybe that’s a lesson learned yea
Please make up your mind before it’s too late

I didn’t wish you’d turn that much
That’s where I troll the letter such
Oh baby, make up your mind
Please make up your mind

There’s always more to see but it’ll keep go another day hard
Baby make up your mind before it’s too late

We can’t have the light
It all worked out this time
And everything’s fine now
Please make up your mind
Please make up your mind

But if it’s up, it’s up to me
A much shorter I’ll come see yea
You better make up your mind before it’s too late
Baby make up your mind ‘fore it’s too late
You better make up your mind ‘fore it’s too late

Baby make up your mind 
Baby make up your mind
Oh Baby make up your mind fore it’s too late 

YO LA TENGO - Well You Better

Out April 9, 2021 on Slumberland Records/Tough Love Records.

From the many musical lives of artist Glenn Donaldson emerges The Reds, Pinks and Purples, a project that sifts out the purest elements of pop music and in the process chronicles the point of view of an assiduous songwriter. His new album "Uncommon Weather" is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco -- during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians and artists -- and also a self-portrait of a songwriter who has dispatched another treasured collection of timeless sounding DIY-pop songs.

Self-recorded and mostly self-performed, the music on "Uncommon Weather" continuously reckons with the influence of The Television Personalities' Dan Treacy, whose own forays into drum-machines, echo, and reverb in the early 1990s is an important reference point. Paul Weller, Robert Smith, and Sarah Records also come to mind. The album arrives with grateful timing, quick on the heels of the recent EP "You Might Be Happy Someday" and alleviating, for a brief window at least, whatever it is that keeps us coming back to this elemental music. Donaldson imagines his listeners are just like himself: fascinated and addicted to the spiritual power of uncomplicated pop classics.
