“Tobacco coaxes woozy, trance-inducing melodies from a variety of vintage synths, keyboards, and found instruments. He's the frontman for Pittsburgh's Black Moth Super Rainbow, but in his solo incarnation, his tastes run even further afield, especially on Maniac Meat, his sophomore LP. The record, which includes a guest spot by Beck, features dubby, electro-inspired percussion and frenetically fuzzed-out bass — all pounding along at significantly higher BPM than the rest of his catalog. Clearly, he's taking the maniacal part seriously. (FYI: Tobacco named himself after a character called the Tobacco Man from the Troma movie Redneck Zombies.)”

Anticon record label says:
Tobacco sometimes runs with a group called Black Moth Super Rainbow. On Maniac Meat, his latest mission, he works alone. Tobacco's tools are analog synths, tape machines, and deformed incantations from throats unknown. His music is a wash of distortion and melody over jagged beats.
