Tobacco (aka one of the members of the trip-pop unit Black Moth Super Rainbow), has just completed his new solo album, titled Fucked Up Friends . Like BMSR, Tobacco records strangely-crafted pop music, which can be either danceable or unsettlingly eerie, depending on your mood. Employing analog synths and tape machines, Tobacco presents an eclectic, cryptic debut album. While a majority of the songs are instrumental, displaying a lo-fi psychedelic quality to them, there are at times mutilated, drowning vocals that can give the album an uniquely schizophrenic feeling.
You can catch Tobacco live on stage at a handful of shows:
09/26: Chicago, IL Bottom Lounge
09/27: Minneapolis, MN Triple Rock
10/03: Purchase, NY SUNY Purchase
10/21-10/24: New York, NY CMJ
Fucked Up Friends hits stores on October 14th via Anticon Records.
