“Are you the public art no one wanted? Standing in the park undaunted Wouldn’t change your life Wouldn’t change your style For anyone that you know”
Led by Glenn Donaldson, The Reds, Pink & Purples return once again to Slumberland Records with Unwishing Well, a 10-track collection of the band’s singularly pining indie pop. Sad poesy and melancholy strumming abound, thumping a floral tapestry of heartbreak, suffering, and times changed and changing. Given the band’s prolific output over the past five years, it seems as if chord progressions and lyrical turns flow from Donaldson’s heart and mind as effortlessly as fog blanketing the city. There’s always something new, and yet even spring’s richness returns to us the same flowers.
