Prolific
San Francisco artist Glenn Donaldson is back with his second record as
Reds, Pinks & Purples in just six months and it is one for the ages.
“Uncommon Weather” might be Glenn’s most personal record yet, a
gorgeous and melodic snapshot of San Francisco full of beauty,
melancholy and absolutely sterling tunes. I hear echoes of everything
from The Chills to The Television Personalities to Blueboy, and you will
no doubt hear others. “Uncommon Weather” is a tribute to the mysterious
and enduring power of the best pop music and to Donaldson’s singular
musical gifts. We’ve teamed-up with our friends at Tough Love in the UK
to release this brilliant album, and it is out today. Get it here: https://smarturl.it/uncommon-weather
