_17.06.2011.jpg) Brevity was never the problem with Dandelion Gum. So, the fact that Graveface Records are reissuing a version of Black Moth Super Rainbow’s signature 2007 disc expanded with pickings from the Drippers and The House of Apples and Eyeballs EPs (the latter a collaboration with the Octopus Project), as well as a couple of leftovers, should not be heralded as anything but a continuation of the band’s habit of overindulging. In a review of Ariel Pink’s Grandes Exitos from years back, Mike Powell wrote that the “imperfections [in Pink’s music] actually are its selling point”. The same could be said of Black Moth Super Rainbow, who should be identified, though they rarely are, alongside Pink as Godparents of chillwave and hypnagogic pop. As an album, Dandelion Gum is already a bit ragtag. Not every track is essential and adding nearly twice as many songs does not help matters. As fantastic a listen as Black Moth Super Rainbow are, it is possible to overdose. But this also seems to be exactly the point, as the band’s music exists as the exact nexus where the vivid Technicolor fantasy of nostalgia risks turning into a nightmare....full text |

| There’s something about Black Moth Super Rainbow that makes them the perfect band for the haze of summer. The band’s trippy, psychedelic rock immerses listeners in a world as mysterious as the Pennsylvania backwoods band itself. This is why news of a deluxe reissue of their breakout album, Dandelion Gum, couldn’t come at a better time. The expanded version includes 14 new songs, all recorded during the sessions for the album’s original 2007 release, including five never-before-heard tracks, as well as singles from previously released EP Drippers and a split with The Octopus Project, The House of Apples and Eyeballs. Dandelion Gum was solid enough on its own, combining distorted, vocoded, haunted vocals, synths, and beeps. These added singles pick up exactly where Dandelion Gum left off. BMSR opens in their typical fashion, with “The Dark Forest Joggers”. Heavy synths dance back and forth, creating otherworldly noises over clashing cymbals. There’s something disturbingly heavy to their noisemaking, but at the same time, it can be just as soft. “Another Place” is smooth and slow, still using their familiar instrumental elements but combining breezy strings. It’s as if the band has given listeners an invitation to follow them into some enchanted woods....full text |
