Texas-based alternative rockers Ringo Deathstarr have announced that their new album ‘Mauve’ is set to hit shelves September 24th.
The album, produced by Elliott Frazier from the band, was recorded at The Bubble in Austin, Texas and Skylab in Los Angeles in the spring of 2012. The album will be preceded by new single ‘Rip’ on September 10th and has already received rave reviews from the press, with Wired saying: “The band sounds like it leaped screaming out of My Bloody Valentine's blown amp.”
The Guardian also drew My Bloody Valentine comparisons, and said of the record: “There is a direct line between My Bloody Valentine, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Ringo Deathstarr. And it stops at Slowdive Central. If you retain any fondness for those three – and are mentally aroused by a spot of melody-heavy guitar pop – you will adore the 'Starr’.”
Ringo Deathstarr formed in 2007 in their native Austin, Texas, channeling influences such as The Cure, The Smiths, Fugazi and The Velvet Underground. They initially released a batch of singles on both sides of the Atlantic and in Japan – a self-titled EP in 2007 and in 2009, a brace of 7”s in the States; ‘You Don’t Listen’ and ‘In Love’.
Their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Colour Trip’ was released in February 2011 and a compilation of their early singles, ‘Sparkler’ - which had initially been available in Japan only - was released in the autumn of 2011.
