If you're not familiar with the extremely evasive band known as Black Moth Super Rainbow, imagine the sort of music you would expect to follow you as you journey through a dark, magical forest during a full moon with a sad but beautiful ghost serenading you intermittently throughout your quest. Oh, and this is after you ate a bunch of mushrooms. That might be the best way to describe the kind of trip their new album, Eating Us takes you on. Their soft floating melodies fuse with the curiously off beat rhythms to create eerily soothing compositions. While Eating Us contains a some exploratory moments, the album maintains the bands unique signature sound, most prominently featuring lead singer, Tobacco's, super-vocoder effected voice. There are certain high points ("Twin of Myself", "Smile the Day After Today") and epic moments ("Gold Splatter") that make this album one that has to be listened to a few times before it can be completely digested. Certainly an album worth taking on a your next voyage, even if it's sunny - maybe bring the mushrooms though.Link
