BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW
Crossover Prog • United States
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW is a US outfit founded late in 2002, but with a bit of a prehistory to it. The history of the outfit really starts with the band Allegheny White Fish, which was the moniker chosen by Tobacco in the period from 1996-2000. In 2000 he decided to change the project name to satanstompingcaterpillars. When the line-up was expanded in 2002 it was decided that a new name was called for, and Black Moth Super Rainbow was chosen.
The band has kept a deliberately low profile as far as band and band members go, and prefer to come across as an enigmatic outfit.
So far they has issued 4 full length productions - Falling Through a Field (2003), Start A People (2004), Dandelion Gum (2007) and Eating Us (2009). The latter was the last album where bassist Power Pill Fist participated, he has since been replaced by Ryan Graveface (bass, guitars).

But there's something there that makes you keep it, something interesting, unique, just plain fun, maybe important but probably not, and eventually, maybe years or decades later, you pull it out and listen and realize why you thought it was so fascinating in the first place. These nameless five want us to forget it's an arty emulation, they want us to feel as if we're experiencing a real artifact of music history's bloated and dingy past, and it works beautifully. BMSR is often termed "experimental", "neopsychedelic", "Indietronic", "synthpop" and a variety of other labels all fair, none of which capture their sound. There is no denying the Chiptune/bitpop presence, suggesting a group of guys reared on videogames and perfectly happy to simulate that culture in rock. Slightly warped 'Raspberry Dawn' and its in-the-hood gangsta fever, streetwise 'Vietcaterpillar', urban arcade adventures of 'I am the Alphabet', dreamy 'I Think it is Beautiful That You Are 256 Colors Too' is reminiscent of the loop-driven postrock of Tortoise, and large 'Count Backwards to Black' & 'Early 70s Gymnastics' evokes that decade's UFO pop subculture. Think Leonard Nimoy's In Search Of.
Full on Atari 8-bit Family explosions for 'Folks With Magic Toes', 'Trees and Colors and Wizards' contrasted nicely by d. kyler's drums, 'Hazy Field People' is a layered and lush reprise, and jazzy hidden cut 'Smile Heavy' is a fantastic old-fashioned electronic prog ditty.
Very cool if you're in the mood for something different, these gameboys put on no pretenses and represent a tiny but special place in the experimental art-rock galaxy.

Like a lot of trip-hop flavored music, the influence of late 60s exotica is also noticeable, especially in the huge sounding and almost unruly very analog synthesizers used. These synths, along with the aforementioned flute Mellotron, repeating acoustic guitar patterns, some very low-fi down tempo drum patterns and a variety of low key simple echo and reverb derived sounds make up the modern exotica texture of this album. The recording production style is psychedelic, but simple and never over-produced, once again favoring early psychedelic aescetics as opposed to often over-produced slick trip-hop sensibilities. The vocals are spare and always sung through a subtle vocoder effect. Vocoders can become annoying quickly, so kudos to Black Moth for being careful with their attempts to hide the fact that they probably have less than stellar singing voices.
This is an excellent album that combines some of my favorite influences; mid 90s trip-hop, 60s exotica and early psychedelic rock. If you like this sort of thing, I'd highly recommend, the melodies, songs and sounds are not cliché.

A few tracks that stand out on this album: Forever Heavy - It seems to me that it is becoming a standard in the indie-rock world Lollpopsichord Sun Lips Lost, Picking Flowers in the Woods - Some cool rhythmic variation in this song. Also great display of the voice effect.
I would tell anyone to go check this out and see what you think, although the outcome may not be pretty. I personally really enjoy this CD, but I think if this band's inclusion in the archives could be disputed.
Good album

The record is filled with short and very much the same songs. All the vocals are transformed using Vocoder. These electronic voices combined with characteristic monotonous synths make this mellow indie- feeling on the album, what I don't really consider as interesting. It's simply boring and uninspiring. After several listens it's even hard to point out the best or worst track. On the Homepage of the band you can see a foolish clip to the first song "Born on a Day the Sun Didn't Rise". Actually it's another argument for stay away from this release.
