Banana are a duo that have been releasing music on cassettes since at least
this one, which came out back in January of 2014. The thing about them though is that the
cassettes all seem to be limited to one, so trying to get them is rather tough
and for what it’s worth I’d like to have them all so at this point getting some
random numbered one in the future doesn’t do a whole lot for me. So I just sit back and hope for an eventual
box set one day, while listening to these releases via digital format.
This
particular release, which is the first of what right now they have six posted
up to their Bandcamp, begins with electro blips and then transfers to clean
8bit tones. Hints of Mario jumping come out before counter-tones
of bass. There are sand shakers and
drum machine thumps that make me want to call this “polished video game”, but
that is a whole concept in and of itself I’d say.
Drone
guitars, transmission lasers and the entire vibe of Casiocore puts this on a
seemingly endless loop with some intergalactic whooshing and even at times a
dial tone that is sharp enough to hurt your ears. These are primarily electronic noises mixed
in various ways but the overall presentation of them is just fantastic.
