TOBACCO - Maniac Meat

There is a lot to say about this album, but to start off, lets just say it is "in my pants", with that meaning that it is quite amazing and as fun as bobbing for apples or eating a full rack of meaty zesty ribs covered in sauce with a kick that makes you sweat. This is the kind of album that you turn up as loud as possible until you get slight ringing in your ears that throws you off balance. Electronic Madness.

Maniac Meat is the second album released by Tobacco, who is a one-man stint out of Pennsylvania also responsible for psychedelic indie electro-pop outfit Black Moth Super Rainbow (their 2009 album "Eating Us" is tittillating). Many of the sounds he uses in Black Moth Super Rainbow can be found in Tobacco's music. The major difference is that the overall sound feels more crunchy with a bass boost on pretty much everything. There are large hip-hop style beats and plenty of thick chainsaw-sounding analog synths that immerse you into the louder, more in-your-face world of Tobacco. If you can get your hands on it, there is a limited edition bonus CD-R entitled "Mystic Thickness" that was included with first-come copies of the album. Some videos for tracks from both the album and the bonus CD-R are below along with a track to stream on the player at the bottom of the page.
