Black Moth Super Rainbow
Magic Stick Detroit
Friday, May 10th 2013
It's
their first Detroit show in support of their new album, Cobra Juicy, which was released last
year on the band's own Rad Cult label.
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 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. There
nearly wasn't a new Black Moth record at all. In hindsight, 2009's Eating Us
seemed too soft, too '70s. Tobacco felt he'd lost control of his main project's
sound and so focused on "solo" work. But while crafting 2010's depraved beat
beast Maniac Meat, he found himself writing more freely, rediscovering the
sickly sour to Black Moth's sweet. Then he realized, fuck it, this thing is his
baby anyhow. He cleaned house on the live band—now Seven Fields of Aphelion,
Iffernaut, Ryan Graveface and Bullsmear—and got to work, alone, on a brand new
BMSR album.
Then he threw that one away and made Cobra Juicy.
