Black Moth Super Rainbow

I initially disliked it as I thought it was the latter.

But it is undeniably catchy. and samey.

"forever heavy" off the new one is pretty sweet

but yeah not a lot of variation

I'd like to see what they do live

i heard a track on 20 jazz funk greats and really liked it. i should check out the album. i'm also a sucker for trippy organ..

listening now and really digging.

they can be patchy but the good stuff is really very good.

I admire the new album but don't like it very much, "Rollerdisco" aside. The appeal is really obvious but the follow-through is kinda weak.

what do you mean by admire?

I see what it's going for and think it almost makes it; I like the idea of it. I guess I find it underwritten, a little unfinished.

gotcha.

the one song i heard, a while ago, seemed kinda... demo-ish.

i actually dislike "rollerdisco" a lot. their more up-beat, um, roller disco-u synth-pop is like ten thousand times less interesting than their really psychedelic "sun lips" stuff.

roller disco-y*

I thought you got banned dude.

only in rap threads.

this is a great record. you're right about the demo-ish feel, though. did everyone find this boring? or did they just not hear it?

Fuck it's loud.

That's how I remember it anyway.

search: "Forever Heavy," "Jump Into My Mouth and Breathe"

Generalisation: every song sounds like Lucy in the Sky with vocoderedness.

boring.

Man, I reviewed their first album when it came out, and then the second album was mostly just rerecordings of the first one, and then I got an album that had, like, the third version of some of the same songs and I just gave up. I heard they put a new album out this year, and while I like the guy behind it, and like some of the woozy tape fuckery he was doing, I didn't feel like hearing the fourth version of the same stuff (or who knows, maybe all the songs are different now).

There are a few repeats, but most of it sounds good. (I do wish there were a few more uptempo tracks, they're like good old motorcycle commercials: blast that poison ivy, guys!) You can still stream and, apparently, still download some tracks, posted by the reviews: here's "When The Sun Melts on Your Tongue" http://www.paperthinwalls.com/singlefile/item?id=706
and "Sun Lips"

And one of the Black Moths guest-reviews somebody else's track here:

which, if you look up in the top right corner of that, will lead you to the other Black Moth's reviews on PaperThinWalls.

i still like it six months later. good morning breakfast making music. it's samey, sure, but it's real pretty.

Yeah, it is good (albeit samey). Rollerdisco is great. Their videos are even better.

lmaooooooooo

I just picked this up due to a friend's recommendation and am digging it a lot.

Wow that honestly surprises me a bit.

Reviving to say that I like the side project album Periphery by the Seven Fields of Aphelion much more than Black Moth itself. Harold Budd piano/late seventies synth TV show soundtrack meditation stuff, sounds lovely and I don't have the image of weird furries dancing on stage as I do with Black Moth (based on the show I caught of theirs back last May).

Ned OTM. I've been finding this record quite gorgeous. Makes me want to get stoned and go bicycling through rolling countryside.

ok Cobra Juicy is seriously good, it's become one of my favorite records of 2012 now that I've spent some time with it. The heavy vocal effects used to ring false, but now they fit perfectly. The songs with lots of cussing are all beautiful and catchy. A really nice surprise.

i think i was the only one who voted for cobra juicy in the albums poll X:

you'd think using a vocoder on all songs would get kinda old, but songs like Psychic Love Damage use it to such an evocative effect

Woke up to find my wife had left this in the bathroom sink:

Black Masque Super Facial!

god I can't believe Cobra Juicy was six years ago

still great

i thought this was gonna be a revive because of the new album, Panic Blooms

it's good! it's ... well, it's a BMSR album.

Dandelion Gum is an all-timer for me.

New album out today. The synth work and production are amazing on headphones. Backwash in particular is great.

one trick pony but it's a pretty good trick

imo probably their best yet

well ... actually probably second best (cobra juicy is very juicy)
