A notoriously enigmatic band hailing from Pennsylvania, Black Moth Super Rainbow made waves on the indie circuit in the early 2000s with their brand of otherworldly, psychedelic indie pop. The project began in Pittsburgh in 2002, and expanded to include five members (Tobacco, the Seven Fields of Aphelion, Power Pill Fist, Iffernaut, and Father Hummingbird) in the following year. Packing a sound that nodded to contemporary retro-chic electronic acts like Air and the Octopus Project (who they would eventually collaborate with), the group released their first album, Falling Through a Field, in 2003. Basing their operations in an undisclosed location somewhere in rural Pennsylvania, the group released two more albums, Start a People and Lost Picking Flowers in the Woods, over the course of the next three years. A critically acclaimed collaboration with the Octopus Project, 2006's The House of Apples and Eyeballs, combined with a successful debut at that year's SXSW launched the group into the indie limelight. Their sticky, rainbow-tinted fourth release, Dandelion Gum, hit stores the following year. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music GuideMore

BMSR rocks!!! I love the 70's era PBS keyboards with modern beats vibe that they lay down. With some of their tracks its like someone twisted my childhood memories of those old WGBH Boston educational theme songs into spooky horror themes. If Nimoy ever brings back "In Search Of..." you guys are so in for the updated theme song.

Great stuff!!! Keep it up!!! So original and addictive!!! Like your first taste of cream soda...
