  Black Moth Super Rainbow - Forever Heavy
Download   |   Stream

Black Moth Super Rainbow has been around since 2002 and became the five-member band that it is today in 2003. Located in Pittsburgh, PA, BMSR does not really take part in any local music scene and has somewhat of an enigmatic reputation. The five members consist of a drummer, bassist, vocoder vocalist/novatron (mellotron-like instrument) player, rhodes player, monosynth player, and an occasional sixth person on gong.

The music is made with all analog instruments and sounds something like happy fuzzy pop and extremely psychedelic Krautrock. The songs are written from a folk perspective so the music never feels overly electronic and never sterile.

BMSR has just released a split collaborative full-length record with The Octopus Project on Graveface Records, and will be following it up with their 3rd full-length, "Dandelion Gum" in February 2007.

Though previously not an extensive touring band, they have played at the personal request of bands like The Black Angels and Of Montreal.
