Additional information
Representing yet another vibrant hue of Melbourne's thriving psychedelic scene are Bananagun, a lively five-piece combo whose arrangements are woven with the sounds of vintage Tropicalia, Afrobeat, garage rock, and sunshine pop. Born out of the demos of eccentric helmsman Nick Van Bakel, the group made some early fans with an independent single "Do Yeah," which netted them a label deal with Full Time Hobby for their 2019 EP of the same name. While those songs were largely the work of Van Bakel himself, their 2020 debut, The True Story of Bananagun, is touted as being their first official full-band effort. Citing a disparate array of influences from tonsured garage maniacs the Monks and Brazilian pysch-pop pioneers Os Mutantes to '90s hip-hop, Van Bakel and his crew manage a remarkably cohesive, if somewhat busy collection that ultimately pleases. Given their inspirations, it's no surprise that Bananagun place a major emphasis on rhythm and percussion. Opener "Bang Go the Bongos" speaks for itself, and the brief interlude "Bird Up!" is essentially a drum circle with bird sounds. Elsewhere, a joyous cacophony of hand drums, rattles, and Latin specialties like the cuica decorates nearly every song on the album, adding a nice flair. The songwriting ranges in complexity from circular jams like the Afro-pop romp "People Talk Too Much" to more nuanced melodic pop like the breezy "Perfect Stranger," with plenty of stops in between, including the quirky trans-positive ode "She Now," a surprising highlight with several twists and turns. "Mushroom Bomb" feels both sonically and thematically stuck in the past, but "Modern Day Problems" pits its muscular U.K.-inspired psych-rock against more contemporary concerns and ends with a cheeky nod to the original 007 theme. Like so many 21st century psych-inspired bands, Bananagun lean awfully heavily into their love of a very specific era, but they've nonetheless made an exceedingly fun record with plenty of craft behind it. ~ Timothy Monger
Reviews
Uncut - "Their debut showed that they share a manic energy and restless creativity with their compatriots in King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard..." NME (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Bananagun have an infectiously bright outlook on the world. The quintet's colourful offerings so far have brought an impulsive exoticism, merging vibrant psychedelia with Fela Kuti-inspired afrobeat." Clash (Magazine) - "Vivid, colourful, and distinct, 21st century ennui has scarcely sounded so intoxicating."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
