BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW ANNOUNCE HAIRY ARTWORK CONTEST, NEW SUMMER TOUR DATES, LISTENING PARTIES & MORE!
Black Moth Super Rainbow's Eating Us is out 5/26 on Graveface and we have all sorts of twisted, hairy things happening surrounding its release, including a contest with ten different independent retail stores and varied BMSR-related prizes, Eating Us listening parties across the country, additional tour dates in late June and July and more bubblegum freak-out goodness! Firstly, here's a bit of what's been said about the new album:
Black Moth Super Rainbow In-Store Stands & Hairy CD Contest:
In honor of this new album and Black Moth Super Rainbow's love for the remaining independent record stores out there, the band has created 1600 hairy Eating Us CDs which will be sold in ten different retail stores across the country, as well through Graveface Records' website (Graveface Records) and other online outlets. (Retail stores include all three Reckless Records in Chicago, IL Underground Sounds in Louisville, KY, Good Records in Dallas, TX, Landlocked Music in Bloomington, IN, Grimey's New + Preloved Music in Nashville, TN, Park Ave CDs in Orlando, FL, Sonic Boom Records - Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA and Aquarius Records in San Francisco, CA.) Black Moth Super Rainbow has also created insanely awesome and completely unique in-store stands, some of which are up to 4 feet in height, to display these limited-edition hairy CDs. No two stands are the same. Jpegs of the hairy CD and three of the in-store displays are below.
Each copy of the limited-edition hairy version of Black Moth Super Rainbow's Eating Us, comes with a download card which immediately triggers an mp3 download of the "Born on a Day" demo and entry into the hairy CD contest. There will be three contest winners picked sometime in late June!
1st Prize: A hairy stand for the winner’s house plus a BMSR test pressing
2nd Prize: The available back catalog from Graveface Records
3rd Prize: A signed copy of Eating Us

Firstly, here's a bit of what's been said about the new album:
"The like-minded follow-up enlists Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann, who highlights the tingly interplay between acoustic and electronic instruments and the processed vocals, which generally sound like T-Pain tripping his balls off. The melodies are sweet like cotton candy. . . " -- Will Hermes, Rolling Stone
"BMSR's fourth LP makes psychedelic music as bulbous, approachable and plush as possible. As song titles like 'Tooth Decay' and 'Bubblegum Animals' imply, this is spun sugar, with just enough eerie fairy-tale menace lurking behind the gingerbread doors to keep the entire affair from evaporating into sweet ether." -- Brent DiCrescenzo, Time Out Chicago
"Woozy, smoked-out hooks are strewn like cigarette butts - a Black Moth specialty that Fridmann dials up throughout this consistently twisted half-hour and change." -- Shannon Zimmerman, SPIN
