I am a huge fan of both BMSR and Tobacco. I do listen to Tobaccos solo stuff more. Maniac Meat is such a great album. I much prefer it to Fucked up Friends, it's much darker and heavy. I've seen both Tobacco and BMSR live and both were amazing shows! I just downloaded a bootleg with very high quality over here from my recent BMSR show in asheville NC over at gravefaces message board :

Tobacco tweeted the other day that after he finished the new BMSR album he disliked it, trashed it, scrapped it, and is currently working on a new new album. The anticipation is killing me.

I actually like Tobacco more than BMSR. Although Fucked up Friends and Maniac Meat can sound repetitive at times, sometimes it just hits the spot.

Here's what we have for new songs from the Psychic love damage era. Not sure which songs are going to be scrapped and which he is keeping. He played 'the wettest day' and 'the runner' along with 'weird winds' on turntable.fm recently. Songs included : Dreamsicle bomb, the wettest day, quiver the good times, weird winds, the runner and three live versions of PLD songs: the wettest day , sunburned fudge (?) and another untitled track

Yes, Cobra Juicy has been one of my favorite records this year.

Especially the track Spraypaint...been going through a lot with my dog Gabby battling IMHA and this song has been hitting home a lot lately.

I had the opprotunity to see BMSR twice last weekend and they blew my fucking mind. Cobra Juicy is so awesome, especially love "Hairspray Heart". This may be one of my favorite albums of the year by far.

Love the new album - hard to find much by BMSR or Tobacco that I don't enjoy
Definitely see them or Tobacco by himself live any chance you get!

I found out about this band/guy after seeing Eric Wareheim's video that he directed for the song called "Streaker". I really don't know much about the guy other than he uses all analog equipment and is also in a band called "Black Moth Super Rainbow". I listened to BMSR and I feel like I prefer the Tobacco stuff better. It seems darker and that is fine by me! Any other fans here?

I love the footage of the "Nightmare" series VHS/Boardgame in this video. I used to play the shit out of that game when I was a young lad.

I'm seeing Tobacco live this Wednesday in Brooklyn! Anybody here seen his live show? Never caught him before - I don't know what to expect which I kinda like.

His new album is good (and the yellow vinyl is gorgeous). "Sweatmother" is the song that made me a fan. :)

BRoswell

07-14-2014, 11:59 AM

I too found out about him through the "Streaker" video. I've been listening to his new album quite a bit, and I plan on getting into his earlier stuff at some point. Also, if there needs to be a song for the summer, "Eruption" is it.

Man I've loved BMSR/Tobacco for years, but seeing him open up for NIN put some new passion in me for it. But for some reason the past few days, it's been really clicking for me.

These songs in particular I've been playing basically on repeat. So fucking killer.

So do just a little too much of your hard drug of choice and listen.

Tobacco recently released "Ripe & Majestic" a compilation of instrumentals he's done over the years. He is currently cooking up a new BMSR album I think! He did two (old) songs on last call with carson daly (Ha!) I didn't watch it but it's good to see him trying to get more exposure

i really didn't know what to expect from Tobacco because i had never heard anything, but their set at Riot Fest was great. i think from reading an interview, i thought the music was going to be really harsh and abrasive, but it wasn't. it was innovative & fun and i'm looking forward to checking out some of their albums.

The live versions, from what I've heard of them, are definitely different than the album versions. Definitely a lot more distortion on them, especially because of the production techniques he uses.

I think it's pretty great, so far I like it a lot. Especially the bits with Tobaccos sounds oozing out of my speakers. Sword box, 1+1=13, and Purple moss in particular. I hope they do a tour together, I think the energy would be amazing

I'm late to the party... This Malibu Ken record kicks ass, it's been a long time since I put on a record to hear it the first time and listened to it 4 times straight through.

Acid King and Sword Box and Suicide Big Gulp are so good. I love the sound of this record, it doesn't feel like it was mastered like most modern records, there is a certain uneasiness about the whole thing.

I love Aesop Rock too, IDK how I missed this!

i actually like "centaur skin" way more. trent's voice doesn't really become recognizable as trent until the last few seconds of "babysitter" so it doesn't seem that special to me. but "centaur skin" is absolutely gorgeous.

Really love Babysitter. It is sleazy, disturbing and oddly beautiful. Can anyone get a proper handle on the lyrics? I'm hearing bits here and there but some of it is completely lost in the distortion to me.

I’m the new babysitter
I’m the new babysitter
I’m your babysitter
And I can make time slow down
Keep that secret out my ear
Vous êtes la pire
You’re second tier
Light the garbage leave it burnin here
Cause you don’t charm me charm me charm me, darlin
I do
I do
For you
Seein it’s all I do I do
For you
I’m the new babysitter
I’m the new babysitter
I’m your babysitter
And I can make time slow down
Pretend you’re a demon in my ear
Don’t even wake up when you disappear
Not even conjured in the bathroom mirror
And you don’t love me love me love me, darlin
I do
I do
For you
Seein it’s all I do I do
For you

...the Trent vocals are not what most of us are looking for until the last 20 seconds are so.

I definitely wasn't expecting traditional vocals on a Tobacco song, so this isn't a surprise, but I'm also glad Trent's voice comes through enough that it doesn't just sound like vocals that could have been done by anyone.

Kind of reminds me of some of David Lynch's music. And the lyrics / Tobacco aesthetic remind me of this:

Thoughts on the new album anyone? I really loved it. A little more accessible than Sweatbox Dynasty, but I was totally okay with that. "Poisonous Horses" was surprisingly moving too.
