Mood Rings (alternatively, Moodrings) are an Alternative Rock band based in Atlanta. Debuting in 2011 with the EP Sweater Weather Forever,[2] they have since been recognised nationally for their sound, which has been called "engaging" by The Guardian,[3] "lush and ethereal" by BrooklynVegan,[4] "dreamy post-punk" by Stereogum,[5] and "lush, neon hued" by Spin Magazine.[6] Their second single, "Pathos y Lagrimas" was featured in Converse's "Ready, Set: Get Lost" music series.[7] Converse recorded and released a music video for the song on YouTube in October 2012.[8] They released a limited edition silk-screened 7" of "Pathos y Lagrimas" and "333" for Record Store Day 2013, and performed an instore at Atlanta's Criminal Records.[9] Their first album, VPI Harmony, was released on Mexican Summer on 25 June 2013.[10] Heather Phares of Allmusic praised the album, saying "Held together by its oddly luxurious feel, VPI Harmony blends its many sounds and moods into a remarkable debut."[11] When playing in Loring Park in Minneapolis, MN the band was rumored to play naked, when in fact they wore socks.
