Here’s another post about new music that doesn’t suck. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I like Black Moth Super Rainbow. See my previous post on The xx for why I’ve been staying away from new music for a big chunk of my adult life and why I’m surprised to find myself genuinely liking some of the new stuff now. Again, the key appeal is originality. In the case of BMSR, though, I suspect the vocoder would eventually become pretty tedious and gimmicky. And don’t forget, this could be considered hipster music (shudder).
“Tooth Decay”
“Sun Lips”
Well, they did tour with The Flaming Lips three years ago. Take that as it is, I suppose.
