The Indefinable Patterns Of Black Moth Super Rainbow

There are few bands in the contemporary music landscape that completely defy description. In the internet era, just about every band, album, song and bar can be attributed a descriptor. Unfortunately, this isn’t due to music critics’ vastly improved vocabularies. Instead, there is a need to assign genre names and other descriptors to everyone and everything. Enter Black Moth Super Rainbow. Just try and define the Pittsburgh group, I dare you. Wikipedia calls them “neo-psychedelia” for fucks sake. Most people fall back on the “____ on LSD” cliche, but BMSR don’t fall into the confines of any hallucinogen, at least not one known to man. Anyways, if you weren’t already squealing in anticipation for BMSR’s upcoming Cobra Juicy (looking at an October 9 release), then the Windshield Smasher EP/Maxi-Single might just make your eyes bug out and your stomach do a few somersaults. Featuring remixes from a cohort of screwballs including Odd Nosdam and Zackey Force Funk, the package is an exhibition in off-kilter rhythms, lead by Nosdam’s draped up and dripped out submission. All centered around Tobacco’s vocoder mastery of course. BMSR continue to make the weirdest pop music around, evoking technicolor patterns more than coherent emotions. Stream Windshield Smasher below and ready yourself for Cobra Juicy.
