On Fucked Up Friends, his first solo album, Tobacco explores a darker,
starker and altogether more badass dimension of his complex vision. With
his group Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tobacco distinguished himself as a
master of jagged beats, glowing melodies and pronounced tension. This
time, he works alone, in rural Pennsylvania, away from conventions and
interference.
As always, Tobacco recorded Fucked Up Friends using analog synths
and tape machines, which gives his work a timeless distance from digital
pop music at large. His tracks evoke sonar, mellotrons and deteriorating
cassette tapes. His windshield-rattling beats thump hard against their
technological limitations. His hooks emerge from thick ponds of distortion,
which heightens their hypnotic power. His music is equally cosmopolitan
and self-contained, the soundtrack for an imaginary underwater cop show,
a welcome stranger anywhere in time and space.
Much of Fucked Up Friends is instrumental. Sometimes, electronically
mutilated vocals do emerge. The lyrics are never “about,” but always “of.”
They don’t clarify. They only make the mystery that much more enticing.
Tobacco creates unique, compelling pop from the power and
constrictions of his available technology. He makes music that is at once
buoyant, danceable and unmistakably eerie. He plays “lo-fi” music for
high yields, and he gives his simplest constructions a powerful dramatic
sweep. He makes music with suave passion, burning vitality and cinematic
depth. And he never stops searching for the perfect beat.
At times, such as on the sunny celebration “Hairy Candy,” Fucked Up
Friends recalls BMSR’s woozy daydreams. But, taken as a whole, it’s a
much more sinister affair. This album is anxiously driven, effortlessly
smooth, and unapologetically uncanny. These tracks will stick in your head
like a crooked get-rich-quick scheme. "Hawker Boat" and "Dirt (featuring
Aesop Rock)" strain stadium-rock grandeur through a dirty filter and serve
it with rocks and salt. "Side 8 (Big Gums Version)," "Backwoods Altar"
and "Get My Nails Did" slowly expose a deep menace beneath their
enticing rhythms.
Fucked Up Friends defies all expectations, rocks the boombox, and
casts a menacing, irresistible spell. It bleeds under a blacklight. It knows
where you live.
