New Banner / New Music... Tuesday

Sorry for the lack of a Friday or a Monday update, but besides driving 3 hours South to play a show, I have no real excuse other than Judge Judy is great television to nap to. On to the meat of the post...

I got the new Black Moth Super Rainbow record in the mail yesterday. The packaging, per usual of Graveface Records releases, is stellar. The music, per usual of BMSR, is pretty bizarre. Most of Dandelion Gum sounds somewhere in-between a 1970's after-school special turned porno and if The Beatles had taken way, way too much acid and kept re-releasing Magical Mystery Tour ad infinitum. The press release that came with the record mentioned something about it being a "loosely based concept record about witches who make candy in the forest." I would argue it's about getting high, walking to the nearest thrift store, and buying every secondhand instrument you can find. Whatever the case, there are some worthwhile tracks on it, especially the opener "Forever Heavy" and the follow-up "Jump Into My Mouth And Breathe The Stardust". This is the best band I know of who has a member named Father Hummingbird. Get weird.
