Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us (Memphis Industries) Black Moth Super Rainbow are yet another band to return to the scene after a year's hiatus, with a record eager to please the ears of the wider audiences they just weren't able to reach and please with their last three releases. 'Eating Us' is a bit like Air's '10,000Hz Legend' - trippy, yet with a solid, heavy undertone that stops the record from floating off into outer space on the back of a yellow submarine. Opening with the organ-fuelled and string-filled 'Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Rise', one would think that 'Eating Us' is rather a dark affair; on the contrary. It's actually quite perfect for the summer, with its Flaming Lips-esque sunshine-infused computerised melodies and sweeping orchestral scenery. 'Gold Splatter' sounds like it's been taken right out of 'The Virgin Suicides' soundtrack - warm and mournful, with wonderfully accurate drops of retro psychedelia spaced in between. Equally, 'Iron Lemonade' and 'Smile The Day After Today' are curious and colourfully experimental additions to the album's kaleidoscopic landscape. Produced by the man who catapulted MGMT into superstardom, 'Eating Us' is a polished and solid record, and surprisingly magnificent.
