Released: May 25th 2010
Tobacco is a side project of one of the Black Moth Super Rainbow crew's homemade electronic posse. The keys are crude, the synths are psyched, and the tape loops are um loopy? Plus there's vocoders are all over this thing. There is so much going on in this album. It fucking rules. Plus Beck helps out on a few of the tracks, which are a couple of the best tracks.
Not to say there is too much going on. Actually Maniac Meat serves as to let Tobacco explore more of a hip-hop, trip-hop, upbeat psychedelic derivative of BMSR's brand musical psilocybin. While BMSR sounds like taking Psilocybe in a gassy meadow on a warm hazy summer day. Tobacco sounds like eating them and walking around the city and ending up a a wicked party at the end of the night, on a warm hazy summer day. With Beck there.
(But it could be all in your mind. I mean really, why the fuck would Beck be at the lame parties you hang out at?)
Anyways the best song (and the longest) is "Creepy Phone Calls" which is probably what you'll end up doing after about 4 hours after eating them. The two songs that Beck collaborates with are tits too: "Fresh Hex" and "Grape Aerosmith" (p.s. what an amazing song title) (p.p.s. I fucking hate Aerosmith. They should of broke up in the seventies).
Awesome shit bro.
