Glenn Donaldson is back with a new album as The Reds, Pinks & Purples. It’s titled The World Doesn’t Need Another Band and it’s out now as a name-your-price download on Bandcamp. Donaldson notes it’s made up of “mostly brand new songs and a few remixes of previous singles that felt like they fit with this set.”
The previously released singles include “My Toxic Friend” and “New Market Space,” and other charmingly glum songs include “Unloveable Losers,” “Don’t Dream Alone” and the title track. Glenn’s been allowing a little more noise, not to mention real drums, into his strummy earworms, and on first listen it’s sounding quite good. “Statues in the park,” Glenn sings on the opening track, “They always look sad to me.” If you can relate to that you’ll like this album.
