BANANAGUN “The True Story Of Bananagun” CD
★ Bonus tracks will be added exclusively to the Japanese version
Subtropical Sgt. Pepper's! Tame Impala x Pet Sounds! A psychedelic, mondo, and tropical utopia rock masterpiece that washed ashore from the Southern Hemisphere! A 2020-style medley of 60's Summer of Love, Tropicalismo, Afro, Funk, and Soft Rock! This is a first album with such dignity, and the laid-back band name and artwork are also amazing!
Here comes a group of crazy guys from Melbourne, Australia! The mixed-gender quintet "Bananagun", centered around vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Nick Van Bakel, released their first single "Do Yeah" (limited 7-inch sold out immediately!) from UK/Full Time Hobby in September last year, and immediately released their second single "Out of Reach" in February this year, and their first full album "The True Story Of Bananagun" in June. Their international sound, which exquisitely blends Fela Kuti-esque Afrobeat with tropicalism reminiscent of Mutantes and a psychedelic style reminiscent of the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's", has earned them high praise from the UK's long-established music media "NME" and many other reviews! When? Where? Why? The visuals are so amazing that you can't help but say, "Wow!", and the groove that transcends time and space from the 60s to the 2020s is sure to be addictive for people of all ages and genders!
