Black Moth Super Rainbow

Black Moth Super Rainbow is an experimental band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their music contains elements of psychedelia, folk, electronica, and pop. Their distinctive sound is characterized by analog electronic instruments including the vocoder, Rhodes piano, and Novatron. The band formed in 2002, and has existed in its current five-member lineup since 2003. Little is known about the band or its members, as they have kept themselves something of an enigma. ^[1]

A Graveface insert inside their "Dandelion Gum" Album describes them thusly: "Deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees."

On March 17, 2007, the band played alongside The Octopus Project as one band at the South by Southwest music festival, playing music from their collaborative project, The House of Apples and Eyeballs. ^[2]^[3]

Black Moth Super Rainbow also opened for the band The Flaming Lips on their Fall 2007 tour.
