You Might Be Happy Someday

Anyone longing for the return of the mid-period of Sarah Records -- during which bands like Brighter and Blueboy released singles and albums that had all the melodic beauty of the label's early releases but also a slightly slicker, super-jangly sound -- should be happy about the Red, Pinks and Purples and their second album, You Might Be Happy Someday. Run by Glenn Donaldson -- who's made fine records with the Skygreen Leopards and various other projects like the Art Museums -- the band make music that sounds like it could have been airmailed through the space-time continuum to arrive with nary a scuff.
