The Reds, Pinks and Purples’ The Past Is A Garden I Never Fed compiles unreleased tracks filled with romanticized reflections on life’s small moments, blending pathos and irony. Glenn Donaldson’s lyrics navigate everyday turmoil over a diverse indie soundscape—from Television Personalities’ darkness and Byrds-style twang to Husker Du’s fuzz and The Chameleons’ chiming melodies. Standouts like “The World Doesn’t Need Another Band” and “I Only Ever Wanted To See You Fail” mix sharp social commentary with memorable riffs. Starting as a home project, the band has since toured widely and supported indie greats, gaining acclaim for their unique blend of heartfelt and incisive indie rock.
