Cobra Juicy is the sixth studio album by Pennsylvania based band Black Moth Super Rainbow. Initially scheduled to be released on October 9, it was eventually pushed back to October 23, 2012.

Background

After the release of their album Eating Us in 2009, the band had begun work on their fifth album. It was scheduled to be released in 2011 under the name Psychic Love Damage, although it was later revealed by BMSR-member Tobacco that he had scrapped the album for finding it not worth the fans spending money on.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}

Towards the end of March 2012, a song titled "Like a Sundae" was released.YouTube - Like a Sundae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBoQZUwfnc On April 5, along with an announcement about the album release, a song called "Spraypaint" was revealed.YouTube - Spraypaint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cbvmT2Fegw

Several months later, the album cover was revealed and a limited t-shirt was printed featuring the image. On July 11, Tobacco started a Kickstarter page to fund the album. Black Moth Super Rainbow are releasing the album independently and set up a crowdfunding page to help fund the release. There are many price choices ranging from a $1 pledge for a digital download of the upcoming single to $10,000 for a rollerskating party to be DJ'd by Tobacco.Kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1082093041/black-moth-super-rainbow-new-album-cobra-juicy The album will be printed in CD format and lenticular vinyl exclusive to backers. Along with most pledges is an included download of the scrapped Psychic Love Damage EP.

On July 12, 2012, the $45,000 goal was reached and a free download of a Psychic Love Damage track titled "The Wettest Day" was released to backers.

On July 30, 2012, the Kickstarter campaign reached $100,000, and Tobacco said that for reaching it, there will be a free remix album released to all backers in the first half of 2013.

He went on to confirm remixes of "Windshield Smasher" by surrealist prank caller Longmont Potion Castle, Odd Nosdam, Zackey Force Funk, Junk Culture and several others to be released along with the single in August 2012.Windshield Smasher Remixes by Longmont Potion Castle, Odd Nosdam, Zackey Force Funk, and More https://www.twitter.com/maniacmeat/status/230799444931665921Junk Culture Remix https://www.twitter.com/maniacmeat/status/232541910961618944
