Mood Rings show how in touch they are with your feelings by putting out a new album on Mexican Summer

Mood Rings don’t have the biggest internet footprint yet. They have the necessary trifecta of website / Facebook / Twitter, with the added bonus of a Bandcamp, but that’s a drop in the bucket. The bigger deal is that their name presents an amazing opportunity for an album: the mood record. Think about it: a record that changes color as you rub your greasy hands all over it. It’s totally cool and one in the eye for the hi-fi freaks.

Now, there’s been nothing to suggest that Mood Rings’ new album on Mexican Summer, entitled VPI Harmony, has anything to do with “mood vinyl.” To repeat: mood records are just a stupid, made-up thing. However, that’s no reason not to look into the album when it comes out on June 25. Hell, nobody is going to stop you from pretending it’s a mood record; go ahead and rub your dirty mitts all over it. And dream, dream of the day when pawing at the grooves of a record will have some effect other than damaging the sound quality.
