BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW - Eating Us

Psychedelic vocoder fanatics Black Moth Super Rainbow are prepping the follow-up to 2007's Dandelion Gum, set for release on May 26th through Graveface Records. Eating Us marks the first "modern studio" effort from the mysterious and experimental band from Pittsburgh. And with producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Flaming Lips) on board, Eating Us is sure to harness a whole new plethora of listeners.

The release also follows the recent success of founding member Tom Fec's side project, Tobacco. The Fucked Up Friends LP found itself in the top ten of our 2008 year-end list and has stayed on heavy rotation ever since.

For an educational shopping spree through the twisted world of Black Moth Super Rainbow and Tobacco, take a trip here.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - Believe the Hype

I've finally had a chance to delve into the new Animal Collective LP Merriweather Post Pavilion, and I have to say it is worthy of the overwhelming buzz surrounding it. At times it sounds like euphoric rave music, executed with real instruments in the psych-rock nature that AC have previously perfected. Check out the Beach Boys-esque standout track "My Girls", now streaming at myspace...

Also, check out an awesome mash-up of the track with Frankie Knuckles' Chicago House classic "Your Love" over at Gorilla vs. Bear.

Merriweather Post Pavilion is out now on vinyl and will be released on CD and digitally January 20 (Inauguration Day!) via Domino Records.
