The Reds, Pinks and Purples - The Town That Cursed Your Name - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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together twelve perfectly-constructed pop gems, some previously unheard and some released for just a few days and then withdrawn, but all adhering to the absurdly high standards of song-craft that Donaldson hews to.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.
