Shoegaze outfit Ringo Deathstarr must be lucky stars, because they shine on a lot of people wherever they are if Pure Mood is any indication of that. Although My Bloody Valentine is a clear influence on this band's style, that's not to say the three-piece act are entirely devoid of having an identity of their own. Featuring 12 songs, Ringo Deathstarr possess the fuzziness that is to be expected from the genre, but they also regard hooks and consistency almost the same way I never ignore Skittles. The vocal performances courtesy of frontman Elliott Frazier and bassist Alex Gehring work in tandem very well, and the craftsmanship alongside the overall character of this studio effort is dreamy and never too overwhelming. Give this baby a spin and a bottle.
