Melt Banana - Melt-Banana Lite Live Ver 0.0 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The music of v i v (they/them) is a shuttle for your mind to a state of complete zen. And Tear Dance is about a personal self-acceptance. A cinematic lofi journey.InchThis album is the truest form of my music. It's a piece of my heart and soul; it's my truth. The songs depict my life-long struggles with anxiety, depression, and insecurities when I was younger, dreaming to become a musician but not having the confidence and belief that I was good enough, and then finally learning to be grateful for them and see those memories and feelings as indispensable parts of my life; They make me who I am today. I wanted to pour all those emotions and feelings into this album. I want to show that you can turn pain and sadness into something beautiful. After all, isn't that what life is all about?This is why, most of the songs have a hint of melancholy to them, but are disguised by beautiful, elegant sounds, melodies, and arrangement.Inch - v i v

Presenting 3+5, the long-awaited eighth album from Tokyo-based noise-rockers Melt-Banana on their own A-Zap tag!The album showcases the duo's visionary musical approach and extraordinary abilities as performers Yasuko Onuki's giddy, hyperactive vocalizing and Ichiro Agata's glitchy, cyberpunk guitar, delivered at dizzying speed, bathed in aggressive electronic sounds. Their aesthetic approach is exultantly experimental, fusing diverse genres imbued with chaotic energy. As on their previous works, the music on 3+5 is unpredictable, always filled with surprises and excitement.3+5 synthesizes elements of a variety of extreme musics, hyper-pop, classic punk, vintage metal, and noise. It partakes of Japanese culture overall, especially the subcultures of gaming, anime and underground music.Melt-Banana seek to offer possibilities to musicians who won't start a band if they can't find a drummer, young women afraid to express themselves in their own unfiltered and unique voices, bedroom musicians and egg punks seeking to blend electronic noise with live instrumentation. 3+5 provides a fresh experience and perhaps inspiration for all.While Melt-Banana hasn't explicitly explained the meaning behind the album's title, 3+5, prime numbers symbolize mathematical integrity and independence, which could represent the band's uniqueness and freedom. Why Inch3+5Inch and not Inch1 + 7Inch? One is left to ponder.InchA band who have justifiably been championed across the world, Tokyo's Melt-Banana have been responsible for some of the most complex punk rock ever made...Inch -Olli Siebelt, BBC
