Black Moth Super Rainbow "Drippers" EP



"Drippers" the latest release from Black Moth Super Rainbow is a delightful record. My "scratch-n-sniff" had the campfire smell. The other flavors are fruit punch, firecracker, tomato, and dirt.I was a little disappointed that the "scratch-n-sniff" was only on the wrapper and to get the disc out you had to remove it.
With the exclusion of I saw brown (pre BMSR from 1999) it is great recent stuff not to be included on an upcoming record. The low point for me was I saw brown and that only because of production. My personal favorite is the delightful BMSR remix of Laura Burhenn's beautiful track Just For The Night.
They are also giving away a digital download of older unreleased stuff called bonus drippers. find it here.

Ray LaMontagne "Gossip In The Grain"

While not quite the emotional hammer that "Trouble" was, "Gossip In The Grain" with its sound somewhere around Van Morrison meets the Beatles is a strong album. My Favorite track is the surprising Meg White.
