Ringo Deathstarr - Mauve

Released: 24/09/2012 Club AC30
Five points to the resourceful scribe who omits any reference to the JAMC or Isn’t Anything-era My Bloody Valentine in their review of this Texan three-piece’s second record (third if you include the superb Sparkler compilation). That said, familiarity doesn’t detract from this band’s quality – any of their obvious predecessors would be proud of punk-gaze jam ‘Do You Wanna’.
