Mood Rings is a properly ’60s name for this dark, slightly psychedelic pop band out of Atlanta. They’re probably nerds too. Nerds who dress well and make friends easily, nerds who have really sick record collections, but nerds all the same. They have nerded out on classic recording techniques and studied pop music so hard that they’ve produced a brand new record that sounds like a secret society undertook the task of saving the old musical wisdom decades ago and has been developing it outside the gaze of the popular culture ever since.
Maybe the culture is ready for this stuff again. The nerds are eating it up for sure. Maybe after the culture is done with ironic detachment and its love of watching colossal public breakdowns it will come back and ask the nerds what’s going on these days. You know, the nerds, the ones who really love this shit. — Jamie Thompson of Pop Montreal
