“Australia’s answer to The Go! Team tap into utopian 60s psych and spiritual jazz” Uncut

“Listening to Bananagun means knowing that their music is ever evolving, in a constant state of flow” Shindig!

Departing from the ultra-slick bursts of sunshine pop and afrobeat that defined their 2020 debut The True Story of Bananagun, the Australian five-piece return to muddy the waters with a heavy blend of incendiary jazz and freak-beat experimentation. It’s Bananagun alright, but braver, bolder and more mysterious than ever.

Recorded at Button Pusher studio in Preston, Melbourne, tracking Why is the Colour of the Sky? with minimal takes - “warts’ n’ all” - provided "the most organic, pure way to record”. Another imperative for the band was to manipulate the social conditions in which the takes were performed to nail the vibe during recording. “It was all attitude towards life and esoteric stuff, natural law, how energy transfers, sounds, chemistry between people”, explains Nick Van Bakel, Bananagun’s songwriter/vocalist/guitarist/flautist. “Trying to foster an environment together where we can make some magic, capture the phenomena of energy and soundwaves interacting with each other in the room. That was definitely what we wanted it to sound like - pro-human.”

Presented by Acid Box.
