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.

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 […]
