2020 4

"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 has built an obsessive, ever-growing following by combining a vinyl-oriented release schedule with regular drops of new songs on Bandcamp. 2021's "Uncommon Weather" was something of a breakthrough and now Donaldson is back with the brilliantly ambitious "Summer At Land's End."

Like the blossoming flower-themed sleeve might imply, it's bursting with heart-ripped-open vocals, ringing guitars, and warm reverberations. As before, "Land's End" contains plenty of concise indie-pop songs, but it also expands into hazier acoustic sounds and some extended mood pieces. You might hear '80s and '90s influences in the echoing guitars, but more so you might hear melodies and words that resonate deep down in some mysterious, transcendent space.

The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Pour The Light In

BST is the third single off ‘Expressions of Interest’, the debut long player by Melbourne/Naarm post-punk band screensaver. The third single from the highly anticipated debut album 'Expressions of interest' out on Heavy Machinery (AU) and Upset the Rhythm (UK). 'BST' is a blend of krautrock infused electronics and new wave aesthetics. Full of swirling bass synths and pounding motorik drums, lead singer Krystal Maynard explores notions of stolen opinions and baseless facts, as we all struggle for relevance in an overcrowded collective headspace.

Recorded by Julian Cue and Christopher Stephenson and mastered by David Stepford.

'Nothing'

and i'll be perfect now on yeah,
and all of these problems everyone has them,
maybe you're confused,
can't decide if it's too late,
can't hide it,
can't keep me straight,

pour your darling over me,

i'm so shy I think i'm losing the way I feel gets so overwhelming,
can't you stop your timings,
it's not real in disbelief,
and I could pretend that I don't feel like this,
I'm betting my feelings for understanding,

pour your darling over me,

Nothing

Writing not just as spectators but as individuals living in the landscape of 21st Century Britain, Hallan are a Portsmouth based four-piece with a tongue that won't be bit. Taking observational influence from everyday culture and the British isle itself, the band create material replete with honesty, humility and integrity. With music that refuses to be stagnant in style and lyrics filled with scathing wit and humour, Hallan are a band on everyone's radar.

Steve Lamacq (BBC Radio 6) - Steve Lamacq's Record Of The Week (2020) "Taking aim at masses including the housing crisis, employment rates, brexit and what they describe as unispiring modern indie music. I like this single, a lot"

Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1) "In amongst the chaos of it all, they're the ones that need listening to right now, because their music is the reality of what's going on out there. Hallan are a big part of it and this track paints it perfectly
