Black Bananas - Electric Brick Wall
-
Black Bananas are Jennifer Herrema, Nadav Eisenman, Brian McKinley and Kurt Midness. They work with their machines to play rock that‰۪s progressive, experimenting and never less than super- exciting.
-
With eyes and ears out for the phases and strains of rock past and present, Black Bananas are on the lookout for a sound that mainly exists in their mind, an idea of sound to wrap around the tunes, a cattle prod sneaking around the backside of your aural cortex to jolt you into magical thinking. Black Bananas‰۪ production pays forward the psychotropic effect with ultimate line blur but ‰Û÷Electric Brick Wall‰۪ is solidly composed of time-tested elements - the beat, the groove, licks, builds and bridges - fused together for projection to the stars.
-
The lead single ‰Û÷Physical Emotions‰۪ is a dancefloor blast that our ears and minds deeply needed and ‰Û÷Electric Brick Wall‰۪ solves even more problems by introducing more and harder beats, upping the sugar quotient along with the strychnine in a line of insanely hilarious new music hybrids aplenty, like the drone / crunch / ragga vibes of ‰Û÷Hey Rockin‰۪ or the mirror- ballin‰۪ industrial desolation of ‰Û÷Creeping The Line‰۪. It‰۪s an age of hybrids but Black Bananas come on with hot Yankee ingenuity, true cross-breeders with a refreshing lack of values and a corresponding shortage of shame.åÊ
