The Reds Pinks And Purples - cleaner city streets, 2023

"The Smithsian chime of The World Should Be Ashamed contains Donaldson’s go-to themes where anxiety underpins the narrative in a bid to wade through the trivialities of the daily grind (“The world should be ashamed/ We know about love and pain”). It’s leads nicely into the closing track, Cleaner City Streets. An urgent cry for us city dwellers around the world to respect our surroundings far more than we do. It’s a rollicking finish that is among the most emphatic Donaldson has delivered through his ever-growing body of work. With the Unloveable Losers EP, just think of nipping into the local for a quick half. Only it’s too good, so you to stay for another. And another. Then, well…. you get the picture. The only difference here is that there are no hangovers or regrets the next day. Just more of the same, and that’s what The Reds, Pinks and Purples is all about – endless joy to immerse yourself in and leave all your troubles at the door."
