The world doesn't need another band. How true. But still they keep coming. and so do the The Reds, Pinks & Purples albums. Every six months or so. This time The Past Is a Garden I Never Feed. And they're eseentially the same thing. Not really in the way that Smiths, Belle & Sebastian or Felt ones are. Variatuins on a theme with some forward momentum.
No, these are the same. Gloomy, rather self pitying C-86 tunes. Wanly strummed without any real chorus. Sing titles which Mirrissey ir David Gedge would be happy with. I like them. I like this. But it's a slight mystery as to whether even Eruc Donaldson, who essentially is The Reds, Pinks & Purples can be slightly sure whether he's put out this record before I imagine.
