Ringo Deathstarr - colour trip

As mentioned already in various music reviews elsewhere (and for once i agree with them) Ringo Deathstarr sound like an early 90s noise pop band, probably on Creation, who have been kept hidden in a vault only to be finally released to conquer a jaded indie scene. Waves of feedback noise, male and female vocals, spacey drumming... hmm sounds familiar? Yes its a well worn template but its a good template so why not, especially when it results in a great album like this.

Take "Two girls" for example with its melody changes, breathy vocals and mounting menace that travels effortlessly into a sheer wall of guitar noise. Many songs in indie history have tried this but few quite as well as this. "So high" is another highlight, it can take you back to the early 90s getting off your tits on indie club night and dancing like you were having a seizure to some indie noise... But this isn't just an excuse for indie nostalgia, this is the sound of then and now!
