    Dave Fridmann's grand production touches enhance BMSR's otherworldly aura, adding dazzling glaze to this fruity cake. [Jun 2009, p.108]

    Eating Us, the fourth album from the Pennsylvania synthedelic band, is arguably its most accessible yet: It tones down the mind-blowing distortion and plays up the group's melodic sense and danceable rhythms.

    It's not quite background and not quite foreground. But probably more background, like a film soundtrack--that could be fixed with just a little more variety. [Spring 2009, p.64]

    Eating Us is the fourth and most recent album by the lovely psychedelic Black Moth Super Rainbow. The band’s biggest achievement is coherence: while there are no standouts here, these twelve tracks (one is hidden) feel like a continuous flow that is strange yet very pleasing. I deem BMSR to be less serious than an average experimental act (the vocoder vocal effect, the bubblegum pop trace) but they can be haunting like on the bleak Iron Lemonade. Writing tunes which are catchy and cheerful but odd is an art I appreciate very much.… Expand
