Melt-Banana – Announce First New Album In 11 Years

Japanese experimental noise punk duo Melt-Banana have introduced their first album in 11 years, entitled 3+5. Their eighth full-length launch follows 2013’s Fetch and is scheduled for launch on the band’s label, A-Zap, on August twenty third. It’s accessible for pre-order on CD and vinyl and in digital formats.

Within the years since Fetch, the band, consisting of vocalist Yasuko “Yako” Onuki and guitarist Ichiro Agata, have toured extensively and produced shorter-form releases by way of their Patreon. The gaps between releases have grown constantly longer for a few years as Melt-Banana‘s music has grown extra complicated, and after over a decade with out overtures towards a considerable return to the studio, the announcement of a brand new album comes as one thing of a shock, although the band hinted at a brand new launch throughout promotion of their present USA tour, which started on Might twenty first.
