Prediletissimos por aqui, os texanos do Ringo Deathstarr depois de alguns eps e singles simplesmente devastadores nos brindam com o debut Color Trip e de cara eu já digo vai ser dificil esse magistral album não estar nas listas especializadas como um dos melhores do ano, as referencias do trabalho MBV e J&MC em doses cavalares, passeando literalmente por todas as fases dos baluartes do barulho, o Ringo Deathstarr constroi seu wall of sound com extrema facilidade criando hits instantaneos, canções grudentas como Imagine Hearts, So High, You Don´t Listen competem entre si neste quesito por outro lado Do it Everytime, Two Girls, Kaleidoscope e Chloe mostram o eximio talento em gerar distorção. Impossivel não se curvar a este Color Trip, absolutamente indispensavel em qualquer coleção de amantes de shoegazer que se preze.
Aproveitando o lançamento do album, o TBTCI através do parceiro Robin Allport da gravadora prediletissima CLUB AC30 facilitou o contato com a banda e a entrevista tão sonhada pelo TBTCI se fez realidade, abaixo peculiaridades do grande mais muito grande Ringo Deathstarr.
