MELT BANANA - 3+5 LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition metallic silver colour vinyl.

Eighth album from Tokyo-based noise-rockers Melt-Banana on their own A-Zap label!

If there's an overlooked aspect of Melt-Banana is them being able to not only experiment and reinvent their sound with every release, but also to re-iterate over their successful aspects. 3+5 is a direct successor to Fetch, and grabs exactly what worked, the spaced-out futuristic synth/guitar effects, its blasting drums, and dizzying loops and improves it in every way imaginable, far surpassing what had been, until now, their most successful project.

The result is their most exciting release yet, from one of the world's most exciting bands. Their epithet of "sounding like a rollercoaster" is never more truer here, except they're now going at unimaginable, impossible breakneck speed. Everyone should feel this level of joy when listening to music at least once in their lives.

An instant classic.
