Tobacco - F*cked Up Friends
I guess it’s worth noting that this album is a side project of Tom Fec, the man behind Black Moth Super Rainbow. This might mean a lot or nil to you. For someone who has been recommended BMSR but never pursued it - it holds a little weight. More than anything it makes me want to go and explore Fec’s central project.
Fucked Up Friend feels like a side project in the sense that it’s a collection of short form experiments. It’s on the far spectrum away from an epic concept record; however, that doesn’t take away from how enjoyable it is. Each song is built on a foundation of spacey electro soundscapes - a two dollar phrase for glitchy beats. Outside of a few guest vocal spots (most notably by Aesop Rock), the album is void of vocals, and most structure for that matter. This could be elevator music for alien spaceship cities, but only if they were some hip aliens.
