The roller rink is cracked. Summer is seeping in. The
lacquered floor boards are all warped, but the disco ball spins. Ladies and
gentlemen, Black Moth Super Rainbow has left the woods, and
the man called Tobacco lords over a gang of demon skaters from
the DJ booth of some greased up auditorium in a lost corner of Pittsburgh. The
band's fifth LP, Cobra Juicy, due this fall
on BMSR's own Rad Cult Records, declares death to hippies,
excising all things flower power and tightening up what sprawl there was into a
nastily bright pile of fuzzed guitar, live bass, hot synths and stubby
rhythms-eleven pieces of hard candy licked, dipped in dirt, and wrapped up for
you.
In some ways, Cobra Juicy is the most
personal Black Moth Super Rainbow record yet. In other ways, it kinda just
wants you to get out there, strap on some wheels, sew a back-patch onto a denim
vest, and start a Warriors-style gang tailored to whatever
overheated dystopia you call home in 2012. The album will be self-released and
funded via Kickstarter, where fans will be able to purchase Cobra
Juicy in actual mask form-a latex rictus modeled after the
possessed citrus on the cover, music on a USB tooth jammed into the grinning
maw. Also, for $10,000, Tobacco will throw you your own roller disco
party. Really.
It's easy to spew the merits of supporting the creation of a
new Black Moth Super Rainbow record, but wouldn't you rather hear about it from Eric
Wareheim of Tim & Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!?
OF COURSE YOU WOULD, SON.
