THE REDS, PINKS AND PURPLES You Might Be Happy Someday (2020 UK Deluxe Limited Edition second pressing 8-track LP pressed on Pastel Pink Vinyl with the black text-on-Cream label - Despite the deceptively congenial presentation, 'You Might Be Happy Someday' is often a heavy record. After a litany of Donaldson’s past iterations [from experimental abstraction to post-punk and pop], The Reds, Pinks & Purples is Glenn Donaldson’s most personal project. Balanced awkwardly atop almost ironically upbeat jangles and rhythms Mitch Easter might have captured on his reel-to-reel are prime cuts of bummer pop. Almost every track is written in second person, creating a feeling of overheard private inner conversations-on-repeat: soft-lob criticisms, supportive friend advice and embarrassing confessions, You Might be Happy Someday is a smeared window into the [kindly] cynical thoughts of a romantic misanthrope. Complete with the lyric printed inner, the picture sleeve retains its title-stickered resealable outer sleeve, the vinyl remains in unplayed condition TLV133)
