Product Overview
In many ways, “pro-human” captures the radical quintessence that Why Is the Colour of the Sky? is fulsomely jazz-shuffling towards. For a record that recognises, in it’s every breath and sinew the humbling, restorative and life-affirming power of collective creative endeavour - it’s also a work that resists an ever more technologically-driven and isolating world that can feel ever more dehumanising in its quests for ‘perfection’. “I feel like a lot of human nature and tradition is worth preserving because we've probably evolved to be this way.”, van Bakel notes, “[Why is the Colour…] is all just about not losing your head and being over stimulated by the ‘goggle box’; the need for spirituality and nature; the need to be able to communicate and share ideas and adapt in a rapidly changing world without being judged and profiled.“
It has been four years since the release of Bananagun’s debut album “The True Story of Bananagun” which placed at number two in the ARIA vinyl album charts and was named feature album at PBS and Triple R.
Bananagun's new album "Why is the Colour of the Sky?" is out November 8th via Anti Fade Records and Full Time Hobby (UK).
