Reds Pinks & Purples - The Town That Cursed Your Name - VINYL LP

Dedicated Inchto everyone who ever tried to start a band in the Bay,Inch The Reds, Pinks & Purples' new collection InchThe Town That Cursed Your NameInch is at once achingly local and heartrendingly universal. Over the last few years The RPPs' Glenn Donaldson has attracted a lot of attention with his gorgeous, lyrical pop and for good reason; his almost-paradoxical combination of productivity and peerless quality has delivered 6 albums and countless singles in just 3 years, and that's only what has actually been released! InchThe Town That Cursed Your NameInch gathers together twelve perfectly-constructed pop gems, some previously unheard and some released for just a few days and then withdrawn, but all adhering to the absurdly high standards of song-craft that Donaldson hews to. Echoes of everything from The Go-Betweens to Felt to Magnetic Fields echo through his songs, informed by an extreme dedication to detail and no small amount of outright fandom. Songs like InchLife In The Void,Inch InchWaiting on a Ghost to Haunt YouInch and InchToo Late For An Early GraveInch speak earnestly about living and making art on the periphery, finding universal truth the dazzling specificity of Donaldson's San Francisco experience.

Curse All Kings - Feral Earth [VINYL LP] date 06/07/2024

2020 . Each time they take the stage, Madrid-bred rock band Hinds create a kind of wild magic, a feel-good free-for-all often complete with synchronized dancing and giddy crowd-surfing from the members themselves. While the band s first two albums channeled the euphoric energy of their live show in their gorgeously punchy take on garage-rock, their latest full-length adds entirely new texture to their sound. Produced by Jenn Decilveo (The Wombats, Ben Platt and Anne-Marie), The Prettiest Curse finds the band letting their imaginations run more freely than ever, even as they share some of their most emotionally heavy material to date. The Prettiest Curse takes it's title from the sometimes-daunting experience of giving your soul to rock-and-roll. In the making of The Prettiest Curse, Hinds devised a brilliantly unpredictable vocabulary for communicating their most painful feelings. Unfolding in frenetic guitar riffs and buzzing basslines, powerful drumming and delicate piano work, the album endlessly delivers massively catchy melodies and vocals that growl and sigh with equal ferocity. The effect of all that unrestrained expression is fantastically dizzying, made even more so by Hinds constant back-and-forth between their native tongue and English.
