Tobacco – Maniac Meat
Unless you’re like me, you’ve probably heard Black Moth Super Rainbow, who (up until now) I’ve avoided; not because of their music, but more because I’m convinced that anything called Black Moth Super Rainbow has to be Anime. It turns out that they are, in fact, a band.
Their frontman goes by the name Tobacco, which said to be a Redneck Zombies reference. That’s pretty cool. He’s also got a new album coming out which is pretty cool.
His solo stuff is quite a bit different from BMSR. It’s definitely not as pretty. Its more beat-driven. The synth itself is more synthy as opposed to sounding like real instruments. I actually like it better. It’s abrasive. I like abrasive.
Beck’s on a couple of the tracks. I could do without Beck. Not just on this album, but in general. But that’s just me. Overall, its a pretty good album. It’s being released through Anticon on May 25th.
