About Black Moth Super Rainbow:
A notoriously enigmatic band hailing from Pennsylvania, Black Moth Super Rainbow have continually made waves on the indie circuit with their unique brand of otherworldly, psychedelic indie pop. They employ typical rock band instrumentation in addition to a bevy of vintage synthesizers, with all of the vocals sung through a vocoder. Additionally, the group coat everything in hazy effects and tape hiss, resulting in music as grimy and disorienting as it is catchy. They’ve built up a dedicated fan base through touring as well as their acclaimed recordings, like 2007’s Dandelion Gum and 2025’s Soft New Magic Dream.
The project evolved out of a duo called Satanstompingcaterpillars, which began in Pittsburgh in 2000 and consisted of Tobacco and Power Pill Fist. The group expanded to include five members (including the Seven Fields of Aphelion, Iffernaut, and Father Hummingbird), and they changed their name to Black Moth Super Rainbow in 2003. Packing a sound that nodded to contemporary retro-chic electronic acts like Air and the Octopus Project (whom they would eventually collaborate with), the band released their first album, Falling Through a Field, on their own 70s Gymnastics Recording Co.
