Black Moth Super Rainbow: Born On A Day The Sun Didn’t Rise

As I’ve said before, the work of Tobacco and Black Moth Super Rainbow extend beyond sonic horizons. The dichotemy, although similar, could not be more texturally different. Where Tobacco hits the grain, sliding coarse notes across the side of your body, Black Moth heals wounds through nurturing melodies and innocent vocoding. “Born On A Day The Sun Didn’t Rise” is the first track we’ve heard off of Eating Us, due out next month, and although I am head-over-heels for Tobacco’s production style, going with Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) seems to be a great decision for this album. Fridmann has captured the youth within BMSR’s synth hooks, the frailty of pattern within that incredibly edited drum part, and with every unexplainable sound comes more questions than answers leaving us in a state of disbelief.

Don’t forget to peep the free BMSR show in NY this Summer here. If you’re going to be at either the Los Angeles or NY show let us know! I’ll personally be at both. Further tour dates and official press release after the jump. Reserve your copy of Eating Us here featuring a 16-page art booklet and hairy summer jewel case jacket. Look for ‘Born On A Day’ 7″ THIS SATURDAY FOR RECORD STORE DAY! Participating stores here.

BONUS: Don’t forget about last month’s FMLY interview with Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow, peep it here.

Black Moth Super Rainbow – Eating Us medley

“Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s psych-pop outfit “poised to break out this year” (Rolling Stone) Black Moth Super Rainbow have a special treat for Record Store Day vinyl aficionados. On April 18th, Graveface Records will release the ‘Born On A Day’ 7-inch, which comes with two versions of the eerie, swirling psychedelic first single “Born on a Day the Sun Didn’t Rise” from their forthcoming album ‘Eating Us’ (Graveface 5/26) on 7-inch orange/red vinyl in a limited edition of just 500 copies.

Side A is the album version, and Side B is a soft, stripped-down version recorded with a banjo and sticky electro beats, showcasing the before and after entailed in recording their first studio album with acclaimed producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) at Tarbox Road Studios.”
