Atlanta, Georgia's dreamy experimental pop outfit Mood Rings feature singer/songwriter/guitarist Will Fussell, guitarist Tymb Gratz, guitarist/keyboardist Seth Bolton, bassist Chris Alley, and drummer Peter Couthorn. When the band formed in 2009, they were known as the Dirty Girls and mixed '60s girl group pop with grunge, but switched their sound and name the following year. Their January 2011 debut EP, Sweater Weather Forever, nodded to influences like Felt and the Durutti Column as well as more expected shoegaze trailblazers. Though the band released the Promise Me Eternity 7" that September, they were already working on their first full-length at Brooklyn's Gary's Electric studio. In October 2012, they released the Pathos y Lagrimas/333 single on Mexican Summer, which issued Mood Rings' debut album, VPI Harmony, in June 2013. ~ Heather Phares
