The latest from forthcoming album Panic Blooms will also release as a 7″ single for Record Store Day.
Pennsylvania oddballs Black Moth Super Rainbow recently announced that they would release their first full length album in six years, entitled Panic Blooms on May 4th. Preceded by ‘Mr No One’ and ‘Baby’s In The Void’, a third single has now been unveiled alongside an accompanying music video. Watch the heady visual for ‘Backwash’ below.
‘Backwash’ will also release as a 7″ single for Record Store Day with a cover of ‘Drippy Eye’ by Mike Watt and Flea on the flip side.
A press release for Panic Blooms said the following of the forthcoming release,
“Panic Blooms is slightly startling. Never before has TOBACCO been so raw or direct in his lyrics. It’s a f-ed up and bleeding account of depression and the shadow side of human frailty, full of gorgeous warped melodies that exist as their own genre, somewhere between late ’90s Warp Records, dub, and chopped and screwed codeine drip. It’s not drug music, it’s dragged music, oozing through the muck of the present moment, past mutating the present, demon melodies filtered through the vain search for light.”
In other news, Black Moth Super Rainbow recently announced the first date in a string of shows scheduled to take place in the UK throughout Summer. Though full information has yet to be released, it has been confirmed that the band will support Nine Inch Nails as part of Robert Smith’s Meltdown at London’s Southbank Centre on June 22nd. The aforementioned will mark the band’s first time playing in the United Kingdom.
