Gringo Star hail from Atlanta, one of the true creative centres of the southern United States.
The band have that odd, Southern feel, that sense of mystery that runs through everyone from R.E.M. to of Montreal.
Alongside this, though, Gringo Star have an Anglophone streak, borrowing from The Kinks, The Who, or even The Smiths.
Patiently literate songwriting, the lilting vocals are set against neo-psychedelic guitars. New single 'Heading South' wraps all these elements into one dollop of guitar pop joy – tune in below.
Gringo Star will release new album 'The Sides And In Between' on August 26th.
