Label: A-Zap
Producers: Melt Banana
Tokyo-based project Melt Banana have long had a gift for disguising the most intensely sweet melodies under the gnarliest of noises. It makes for multifaceted listening experience, and even gives you whiplash, but ultimately it’s incredibly rewarding. 3+5 is their ninth studio album, and it continues the trend for high-pitched vocals and noise-rock.
They’ve opened for Napalm Death and the Melvins, which hints at their ferocity. But make no mistake—tunes like “Code” and “Puzzle” are undeniable.
