Indie/Pop - Pittsburg's Black Moth Super Rainbow are utterly unique, blending pop, electronica, and folk into a psychedelic goulash of vintage synths and vocoders that sounds unlike anyone else, past or present. Formed in 2000, they emerged from the underground (it's not hard to picture the band literally rehearshing in a cavern) with 2007's Dandelion Gum, a sugarcube laced with batwings and blacklights that was simultaneously one of the most mindbending and infectiously poppy albums of the year.

For their next trick, the BMSR made their first foray into a professional recording studio with The Flaming Lips' Dave Fridmann at the boards and pulled Eating Us out of their wizard sleeve. Fridmann's production style, which maximizes sonic space and spaciness, is perfectly suited to the band's way-out sound and the mindmeld bears delicious fruit. Here's proof. Suffice to say it's a facemelter.
