In a few short years the music of
The Reds, Pinks & Purples has come to be regarded as an important and necessary part of the soundtrack at WYMA. As for reasons, of course there is the simple aural pleasure of fine songs with swirling soundscapes and lovely melodies. But the sweet spot of the attraction is the keen observational and storytelling talents of songwriter Glenn Donaldson, outlining both the grit and the hope in the human condition. The latest installment is the six song
Murder, Oral Sex & Cigarettes, and we highly recommend it (note that we don't endorse all three activities in the title -- smoking is bad for your health). Two of our favorites are below, but all tracks are worth your time.
The players on this EP are Glenn Donaldson, Kati Mishikian, Lewis Gallardo, Thomas Rubenstein, and Daniel Pearce. Murder, Oral Sex & Cigarettes is available as a digital download, but previous records from the project are available in vinyl from Slumberland Records (US) and Tough Love Records (UK).

This sounds like a wonderfully introspective and beautifully crafted album. The Reds, Pinks & Purples always have a way with melancholy, jangly pop that feels both personal and universal. The lyrical themes sound incredibly thought-provoking. It's the kind of record that rewards repeated, close listening. If you're looking for a different kind of escape, a visit to https://bonrushs-uk.co.uk/app/ could be a fun way to unwind. I'm definitely going to give this a spin.
