LA-based Rock artist Charles Moothart (formerly known as CFM, also of Ty Seagall and Fuzz) has announced new LP Black Holes Don’t Choke, and revealed the record’s first single “Roll”. “Roll” is the first taste of what Moothart calls “apocalyptic pop”, and that’s also expressed in the accompanying neon-flavored music video.

Black Holes Don’t Choke is meant to be “a present meditation.” It was written, recorded, and mixed entirely by Charles Moothart in his Los Angeles studio, and he plays all of the music heard on the album.

The implementation of samplers is a noteworthy development as well as the general inclusion of more electronic elements in comparison to his past work. It also seeks to “convey a feeling of chaotic love and empowerment within a time of existential turmoil – aiming to lift up what positives exist in a world riddled with toxicity and complexity.”

The production of the Black Holes Don’t Choke is another area of artistic growth for Moothart. Due to a love for classic Hip Hop as well as a desire to explore creativity further, Moothart spent recent years looking in to the world of sampling and sequencing. He has also been working to hone his engineering and mixing abilities through his own projects, as well as collaborating with peers in different studios.
