New York, NY (Top40 Charts/
Black Moth Super
Rainbow Official Website) - Sweeten up this week's playlist with The Go! Team's remix of
Black Moth Super Rainbow's 'Twin of Myself,' from their new album 'Eating Us' (out now on Graveface Records).
The original is a hazy, electro-pop daydream that Pitchfork called 'positively radiant - a patiently gleaming, summery jam,' but once The Go! Team sequence their big beats, harmonicas, and flute harmonies over looping samples of Tobacco's vocoder chorus and floating synth melodies, the song becomes a highly danceable example of the British collective's 'unhinged, knowingly daft pop fun.' (NME)
It sounds like Brighton's The Go! Team had a blast remixing 'Twin of Myself' - here's the addictive rendition, in which they layer their signature handclaps, harmonicas and big beats over BMSR's otherworldly vocoder chorus and floating synths:
Black Moth Super Rainbow are no strangers to unhinged fun: over the weekend, Tobacco took a break from Black Moth Super Rainbow's extensive touring schedule to perform solo at Bonnaroo's Troo Music Lounge. He invited some of his 'F@#$%! Up Friends' (a furry, man-faced beast and an old man in hospital scrubs with a dead fetus accessory) onstage to amuse audiences - they've been spotted at BMSR's recent live shows as well. Rolling Stone reported that the set was 'an awesomely bizarre spectacle that was part '90s rave, part art show' and awarded him with the 'Best-set-of-the-night' award for Thursday.
East Coast fans won't want to miss the bizarre awesomeness as Black Moth Super Rainbow continues the 'Eating Us' tour June 19, 2009 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The've also added new headlining dates throughout July and early August.
