We Say...
The trio of keyboardist Kate Rosko, guitarist Nina Mehta and drummer Abby Portner (who, as Avey Tare's sister, is an actual part of the Animal Collective family tree) can't help but evoke the naif ruminations of hallowed all-female post-punk group the Raincoats. And the group, having changed their name from First Nation to Rings, willfully invoke the percussion rounds and campfire incant of those legends — not to mention disproving the notion that noise-making is an exclusive boys club. But Rings are quick to expose their feelings on their second album, Black Habit. "Is He Handsome" displays emotion openly, while "Teepee" manages to somehow be both twee and tribal. Each song lasts just long enough to allow bits of piano and rattled-and-sung lyrics to spiral in space.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
