BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW ANNOUNCE TOUR WITH SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS

Black Moth Super Rainbow
Creeping out from the dark woods of Pennsylvania into the perhaps-even-darker clubs and showplaces of America, Black Moth Super Rainbow act as a singular rhythmic unit to a backdrop of off-key lighting, original schizoid animation and thoroughly screwed video pieces, for no one in particular, but just for the pure, instinctual need to take the show on the road and feed that unique muse of theirs. With Tobacco, Seven Fields, Power Pill Fist, Ryan Graveface, D. Kyler and Father Hummingbird, Black Moth Super Rainbow’s communal live show is a truly bizarre cocktail of visual and aural oddness.

Daydreamers School of Seven Bells co-headline this tour.

As previously announced, Black Moth Super Rainbow’s Eating Us is out May 26 on Graveface Records.

“Black Moth crafts mind-blowing, interstellar psychedelic pop. Think Air, but peppier, Brightblack Morning Light but freakier.” — Rolling Stone

“Black Moth Super Rainbow, a band from Pennsylvania, makes its music from a nest of analog keyboards and a rhythm section. Its songs are pulsating neo-psychedelia, driving and dizzying, with vamps that keep on building as the keyboard sounds go whizzing, bubbling, zapping and swooping above the beat. Vocals are run through a vocoder for a vintage robotic tone… Above the band, a screen showed eye-popping video animations: wildly proliferating plants, cartoon people and food in metamorphosis. The band’s albums revolve around stories and concepts – its current one, ‘Dandelion Gum,’ is a tale of witches in a forest – but onstage, its music was one glorious buzz.” — The New York Times
