MELT BANANA  Teeny Shiny (BLUE VINYL)  LP   (A-Zap)   17.98
Teeny Shiny (BLUE VINYL) IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Back in print on vinyl once again, this time in a new 2016 blue vinyl edition. Here's the old review we did back when this blasting spazz-attack first came out:

Melt Banana's third album Teeny Shiny delivers another hyperspeed onslaught of sugar-OD spazz thrash with even catchier hooks and LOTS of weird turntablist/drum n bass-isms this time around. Terminally insane, equally confrontational and cute, Melt Banana continued to evolve and streamline their sound with these 11 songs without losing an ounce of their godlike freakiness. The No Wave skronk and mutant noise eruptions of their previous albums are still in force, but have been refined into the closest the band has ever come to writing actual "pop" songs. Of course, Melt Banana's vision of pop is a 1000 mph blast of pop-punk run amok with singer Yako's manic cheergirl yelps and Agata's mind-frying shrapnel guitar playing, which alternately sound like a meth-amped DJ scratching 3 different records, a laser gun going off, and an unstoppable thrashcore riff machine. All that amidst an offensive of air raid sirens and hip-hop beats, explosions and electrocuted video game shrieks, drum'n'bass-influenced noise blasts, digital hardcore and more, a mystical hyperspeed hardcore adrenaline freakout beamed straight into your cortex. An essential album from one of our favorite bands on the planet.
