Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's psych-pop outfit "poised to break out this year" (Rolling Stone) Black Moth Super Rainbow have a special treat for Record Store Day vinyl aficionados.

On April 18, 2009, Graveface Records will release the 'Born On A Day' 7-inch, which comes with two versions of the eerie, swirling psychedelic first single "Born on a Day the Sun Didn't Rise" from their forthcoming album 'Eating Us' (Graveface 5/26) on 7-inch orange/red vinyl in a limited edition of just 500 copies.

Side A is the album version, and Side B is a soft, stripped-down version recorded with a banjo and sticky electro beats, showcasing the before and after entailed in recording their first studio album with acclaimed producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) at Tarbox Road Studios. Graveface is also offering "Born On A Day the Sun Didn't Rise" as an MP3 download for fans to hear the fully fleshed-out BMSR.

Fridmann takes Black Moth Super Rainbow's adventurous sound to new sonic heights by replacing the spliced electro beats used in their previous recordings with D.Kyler's booming, hip-hop styled live drums, cranking up the undulating bass guitar to blend seamlessly with the crunchy beats, and making frontman Tobacco's vocoder lush and up front, creating a creepy and angelic sound that bridges human voice and machine. Fridmann keeps the candy-coated sticky textures created with vintage synths, guitars and freaked-out analog effects for which the group has become known and loved.

'Eating Us' follows the critically praised 2007 'Dandelion Gum' (Graveface). The group Blender described as "the missing link between Daft Punk's cosmic kitsch and the wistful bliss of 'Strawberry Fields Forever" is poised to make a major impression on new fans in 2009.

Graveface Records has set up a reserve list on their website where fans can sign up to ensure they receive the full deluxe CD of 'Eating Us,' featuring a 16-page art booklet and hairy summer jewel case jacket limited to 2,000 copies. Sign up here.

As previously announced, Black Moth Super Rainbow, who have previously toured with Flaming Lips and Aesop Rock, will take their cocktail of visual and aural oddness on the road this summer supporting 'Eating Us.' Daydreamers School of Seven Bells co-headline.

"One glorious buzz" -- The New York Times

"Bringing to mind jittery Claymation flowers growing and disintegrating on a TV screen. . . This may be spacey pop perfection, but more importantly, it creates a singular sonic microcosm that recalls the ineffable weirdness of childhood." - Village Voice

"Black Moth Super Rainbow is effective because it isn't afraid to let songs float off like brightly colored balloons." -- The Onion's A.V. Club

"Black Moth crafts mind-blowing, interstellar psychedelic pop." -- Rolling Stone
