Black Moth Super Rainbow came from the woods of western Pennsylvania. An actual, five-member band without the expected laptops and sequencers, BMSR is a psych-electro group in early-’70s electronic clothing. They’re like sad thoughts on the happiest days. All are lovingly played by real people with real hands.
Members prefer to go by aliases and stay away from normal press photos, in an attempt to keep the focus on their music. Led by Tobacco (Vox), who does most of the writing and production, the band also consists of Father Hummingbird (rhodes and monosynth), The Seven Fields Of Aphelion (monosynth), Ryan Graveface (bass and guitar) and Iffernaut (drums). By developing their ideas in near-seclusion and without any local influence in Pittsburgh, they come across as feral and unique. Imagine being able to wipe the slate clean and hear a pop song without ever having heard a pop song before—replacing the types of melodies you’re accustomed to hearing with something completely different. It’s kind of like that.
Most people associate sounds like a vocoded vocal with techno and novelty and analog synths with electro, but BMSR is coming from a different place and are trying to recontextualize these sounds. They’re categorized in the electronic genre, but their heads are somewhere else.

Oh, and Dandelion, We all know that youre going to defend them to the death, like you do with every other negative post someone else makes. You can do everyone a favor and save it. I'm not tryin to start a hatefight on the BMSR shoutbox, hell I've even defended them with you... I'm just simply stating my opinion, and everyone already knows that you wont agree with this. And if I'm wrong, and you werent going to say anything, all I can say is Good For You.

Eating us, the album that has been argued as their Most canned (if you will), least experimental album comes out, and they immediately become a music festival tour band. LAAAAAAME. Go back to your roots, BMSR, and stop selling out. Because newsflash: The music festival scene nowadays is step 1 to selling out. This makes me REALLY sad, because they're one of my favorite bands, but if another Eating Us comes out, I'm giving up hope.
