"Windshield Smasher" by Black Moth Super Rainbow

The digitization of the music industry has had its share of positives and negatives. Gone are the days of major label domination, when musicians struggled to find affordable recording studios, and the stage and radio were their only outlets for exposure. Now artists can create professional quality recordings in their living rooms and successfully promote themselves through social media and the inter-webs.

One group that has taken full advantage of this model is Black Moth Super Rainbow. Fronted by Thomas Fec, aka Tobacco, this group of modest musicians have been brilliantly concealing pop music since 2003.

“Windshield Smasher” is from their 2012 crowdfunded album Cobra Juicy and is a gateway drug into their “indietronica” psychedelic wave of eccentricity.

In an industry flooded with mediocrity, Black Moth Super Rainbow has carved a smile into something new and is a group I still frequent.
