Before The Reds, Pinks & Purples started getting noticed by a larger audience, a 4 song 7” EP called "I Should Have Helped You" snuck out on Swedish experimental label I Dischi Del Barone, disappeared quickly, and is now trading for insane prices on Discogs. Recorded around the same time as the material that ended up on the buzzed-about LP "Uncommon Weather," it contains some of the best examples of Donaldson’s melancholy but wry take on indie pop. "They Only Wanted Your Soul" adds six more tracks to make it a mini-LP length grab bag of hits. It has songs about record shopping, religion, worker’s rights, dysfunctional holidays, and of course heartbreak sung over a maze of shimmering fuzzy guitars and drum machine beats. This expanded reissue re-presents an essential chapter of the Reds, Pinks & Purples story and as such is crucial listening.

Stockholm psych quartet The Hanged Man returns with new single “The Weaver”, the lead single from their upcoming third full-length album Tear It All - their first with Swedish indie label PNKSLM Recordings (Les Big Byrd, ShitKid, Yung etc). One of Sweden’s most acclaimed acts, The Hanged Man have been working at their own pace for close to a decade now with two albums and a series of EP’s to show for it, while also keeping busy with their work in other acts such as Dungen, Viagra Boys, Vulkano and more. “The Weaver” finds the band at their boldest with a distinct brand of Black Sabbath-infused heavy psychedelia.

Lyrics:

Swaying on the edge of the Earth
The spider’s spun her web
Across panes of sullen glass
An ashen face torments this place
Where the body’s laid to rest
Where the angels strike us down
Birthing a new life

So, so slow
So fleeting

Still, in the pace of the wake
This life, a series of deaths and tragic ends
Her sallow face torments the place
Where her warmth once left a trace
Then the angels took her hand
Returning her to Earth

So, so slow
So fleeting, now
Some come and go too swiftly

For all the writing hands
And games we trade amidst the plains here
For all the pause and play within the maze
We trade at will here
In memoriam, she reaps fields strewn in gossamer
In immortal halls her pain will cease to be

Swaying on the edge of the Earth
The spider’s spun her web
In corners unconcerned
An ashen face torments the place
Where the body’s laid to rest
Where the angels guide her down

And give her peace again
And finally full breaths

RY-GUY is a new Londonian artist, heavily inspired both by his Guyanese, Caribbean as well as European roots. While his first ever single was released last July, ‘No Longer Speak In Words’ marks his first collaboration with Nice Guys Records. This cocktail of bass guitar, xylophone notes as well as dreamy vocals sounds like the perfect soundtrack to the beginning of autumn. Go outside, walk under the trees whose orange leaves are falling down and let yourself get hypnotized by this indie-rock tune!

-- LYRICS --
Leave
for a dream 
leave to find yourself within. 

Seek  
poetry
as the answer to beginn. 

Find 
out about crusades
and Arabic girls in disarray.  

Run
yes rabbit run 
for what this journey has become about.

Mathilda 
the city lights above. 

You answer your call
you answer your call
playing a part
for all we know. 

You answer your call
you answer your call
for always asleep
forever as though.
