Tobacco

Tobacco is the frontman for Black Moth Super Rainbow. I've listening to some his solo stuff and have found it interesting.

Tobacco (né Tom Fec) is an American electronic musician. He is the frontman of the band Black Moth Super Rainbow, in addition to working as a solo artist; in both settings he works most conspicuously with pre-digital electronic instruments such as analog synthesizers and tape machines.[1] Little is known about Tobacco, as he, along with the rest of Black Moth, is very private and rarely does interviews. It is known that Tobacco grew up in Pennsylvania, and graduated from Hampton High School in 1998 along with fellow bandmate Seth Ciotti.
Tobacco released a solo album entitled Fucked Up Friends on Anticon Records on October 14, 2008.[2] The album was recorded using entirely analog equipment. [3] Rolling Stone said of the album, "one of the year's best stoner-rock records - only it's powered by synths, hip-hop beats and vocoders instead of guitars."[4] Exclaim! called it "worth of obsessive listening."[5] The album featured a guest appearance from Aesop Rock.[6] A DVD of the album had been released more than a year prior, on September 3, 2007, by the 70s Gymnastics Recording Company.[7]
