Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum (Deluxe Reissue)

Black Moth Super Rainbow come from deep within the woods of Western Pennsylvania. An actual, 4- member band not comprised of the expected laptops and sequencers, BMSR is a psyche-pop group in early '70s electronic clothing. Sometimes the songs feel like pagan rituals in a sugarcoated fairyland. Other times they're like sad thoughts on the happiest days. All played and lovingly assembled by real people with real hands. BMSR lives and makes music in their own lollipop neon folktale world. Most people associate sounds like a vocoder vocal with techno and novelty, and analog synths with electro, but BMSR is coming from a different place and trying to re-contextualize these sounds. Dandelion Gum is a loosely based concept record about witches who make candy in the forest. Each of its songs represent a different candy-induced freakout in the gooiest and sweetest ways possible. Songs that are built to stick in your head for hours meet textures that are impossible to scrape off your teeth. You might not even realize that the sunny melody you're humming to yourself all day has so many hidden layers behind it - all hummable as well. It's as accessible of a record as it is abstract, and as bright on the surface as it is moody underneath. Dandelion Gum feels as colorful and sticky as its name suggests. But theres more to this deluxe reissue than the original Dandelion Gum tracks...We added 14 songs that were all recorded during the same time period. 5 of these 14 tracks have never been heard before! Some are from the out of print Drippers EP and a few are BMSRs contributions to the 2006 split with The Octopus Project (The House of Apples and Eyeballs).  "...I personally think this band are a real find, and surely are due a higher profile in this country." -BBC Collective "
