The Reds, Pinks and Purples - Summer At Land's End

Released 4th February 2022. ‘Summer at Land’s End’ is not an interlude or tangent for The Reds, Pinks & Purples but rather a perfect fourth movement following the albums ‘Anxiety Art’, ‘You Might Be Happy Someday’, and ‘Uncommon Weather’. As with these self-recorded records (the primary work of songwriter Glenn Donaldson), the songs on ‘Summer at Land’s End’ were crafted slowly and then drawn together to make a unified statement. But here, and more than before, ‘Summer at Land’s End’ comb...

Released 25th February 2022. UK eight-piece caroline’s eponymous debut album often cascades with force like an avalanche, squalling and rumbling on the edge of all-out collapse. At other points they slip back into impossibly fragile moments of quiet – a simple bassline or a rattle of snare the only sound amid a dark sea of silence. caroline know exactly the right balance between restraint and release. These songs are expansive and emotive pieces, their rich palette drawing on a mixture of cho...

Released 18th February 2022. Hello Sadness is Los Campesinos! shooting for a pop album. Not pop-punk, not indie-pop – punchy, pristine pop. But as with everything in life, nothing ever quite goes to plan.  The UK’s First and Only Emo Band™ (see also: Your Ex-Girlfriend’s Favourite Band©), started off with the best of intentions. Opener ‘By Your Hand’ is a horny, hilarious tragi-comedy, rife with masturbation, stallion-like thighs and a sick covered rental tuxedo. ‘Songs About Your Girlfriend’...

Released 29th April 2022. Honeyglaze are the South London based, Haiku loving trio comprised of vocalist and guitarist Anouska Sokolow, bassist Tim Curtis, and Yuri Shibuichi on drums.  Born out of lead songwriter Sokolow’s un-desire to be a solo-act, the group met officially at their first ever rehearsal- just three days ahead of what was to become a near-residency, at their favoured ‘The Windmill’, Brixton. Forming a mere eighteen-months ahead of a subsequent eighteen-months of mandatory so...
