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]
William Fussell relocated to London, England, in 2015 and set up a solo-project titled, Promise Keeper. He released his debut EP on May 19, 2017. [12]
Later in the same year, Fussell began recording alt-country music under the moniker Honey Harper, and released Universal Country, the project's debut EP. [13] He was later joined by his partner Alana Pagnutti, and their debut album, Starmaker, featuring collaborations with Austra and Sébastien Tellier, was released in 2020. [14] Their sophomore album, Honey Harper & the Infinite Sky, followed in 2022. [15]
