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.
