| Growing Fear of a Tobacco Free World: Black Moth Super Rainbow Return with ‘Panic Bloom’ | May 7, 2018 |
Chris Daly breaks down the latest Black Moth Super Rainbow LP.
| Pacific Sunware: High Tides Wash In | May 1, 2015 |
Introducing High Tides, the new band on Black Moth Super Rainbow's Rad Cult Imprint
Willie Schube originally recorded this post on a 4-inch reel. The press release announcing Tobacco’s first album in four years, Ultima II Massage, ends like this: “No happy ending.” Sounds about right. At it’s best Tobacco’s music sounds like psychedelia run through a garbage disposal. I mean this in the best way imaginable. The […]
| Video: Black Moth Super Rainbow — “Windshield Smasher” | August 7, 2012 |
File this video somewhere between The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Westside Story, A Clockwork Orange, the story of Hansel and Gretal and The Barber of Seville. Black Moth Super Rainbow living up to the bleakness and kaleidoscopic color of their name — as always. Too weird to live, too rare to let those haircuts persist. […]
I caught Tobacco’s DJ set at the Low End Theory a few weeks back. The one-liner that popped into my head was a UFO burning down a Gingerbread house while the witch chants outside. There is an alien and sinister quality to the vocoder wails and an inherent sugary grit to the melodies. This is […]
| Black Moth Super Rainbow – “Spraypaint” | April 3, 2012 |
Fun fact: Whenever Willy Wonka is feeling seductive and gets the desire to impregnate a Wonkette behind the pink Viking sugar boat, he plays Black Moth Super Rainbow. “Spraypaint” is their new song. Don’t enter the factory tonight between the hours of 1 a.m. and 2:00. It could get uglier than a Bubba Sparxxx single. […]
The Intelligent Demon Music Tour, 2012. Twin headliners: Gonjasufi and Demon Queen — the freshly dug up duo of Tobacco and Zackey Force Funk. Promoters, make it happen. All attendees receive a free copy of Tobin’s Spirit Guide and fistfuls of DMT. First person to see the spirit of Eazy E wins. Jokes aside, the hallucinogenic […]
Admittedly, it’s no Smiths reunion, but for fans of fruit-striped psych, the news of Black Moth Super Rainbow’s reformation is cause for lighter sparking celebration. In typical Tobacco fashion there was no announcement, just “WE’RE BACK…Austin Psych Fest, Camp Bisco, and a Fall Tour to be announced.” No more necessary, save for the news that […]
| Douglas Martin’s Dirty Shoes: Inside the Dreamend Factory | August 16, 2010 |
Douglas Martin thinks Charlie should have opted to go to 24 Hour Fitness instead of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Another day, another Black Moth Super Rainbow-related project. The exhaustive prolific nature of the group and its core members has led me to believe that somewhere in Pittsburgh‘s industrial district, within the vast expanse of steel […]
| Air-“Sing Sang Sung” (Black Moth Super Rainbow Remix) | November 5, 2009 |
The animated video for Air’s “Sing Sang Sung,” inculcated a mild psychedelia via its trippy kaleidoscopic visuals and requisite mushroom imagery, but truthfully the Parisian duo of Godin and Dunckel have never been ones to soundtrack drug binges, instead keeping their eyes firmly focused on crafting Gallic electro lover’s rock (I imagine at this point, […]
