Russia's own Los Bananas is known for the variety of styles and genres they incorporate into their sound. Electronics, sludgy guitars, mellow and sad melodies are the most frequent things which come to mind to describe the band's unique approach. Bananas debuted in 1993 as a punk-rock act transforming by the mid-90's into a strong full-metal raging force. Having unleashed several demos and albums into Russian hardcore underground Los Bananas lasted as metal adepts until 2001. Since that time they've been exploring the territories which can be found on the vivid maps of "post-rock". Still remaining heavy, the band developed their style into something much more obscure, yet melodic, and, let's say, long. Experimenting with electronics and incorporating various sources of additional instrumentation such as accordeon, melodica, sax and other, Los Bananas have re-invented their sound now dealing mostly with instrumental music. However in 2005 Los Bananas collaborated with the infamous Russian post-grunge pioneers 7Rasa vocalist Sasha Rastich releasing an EP widely praised by the experimental music fans. Earlier that year another EP ("Supplementary CD for Various Purposes") had its release through the Moscow indie-label INDIE-GO!. Both records sounded mostly like a mixture of guitar-oriented post-rock with clicks'n'cuts electronica. As to the still-heavy side of Los Bananas' music, it finds its reflection on the recent instrumental album entitled "Con il tempo che passa, ricoperta di polvere, la bellezza sfiorita rimane sempre immortale..." which was recorded live and released by INDIE-GO! in autumn, 2006.
Our new album "Herbarium" is
out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).
Diverse palette of styles (post-rock,
ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub,
neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly
pensive mood.
«Herbarium» is called so
because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be
compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged
to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here,
only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that
herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up
in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river,
contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured
in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and
meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so
on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh
sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental.
There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let
your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
