Here's a brand new Melt Banana album. Wooee!! Bambi's Dilemma is here now on CD (for the mo...) and it's a right old laff. I saw these last year and they were so loud and so crazed I had to order a new brain to be put in after the gig. They were fantastic.... so fantastic both Ant and me bought T shirts though mine doesn't fit me now.... too much lard. The dynamics in Bambi's Dilemma are incredible... the music is all over the place. Out of all the Melt Banana records this is by far the most accessible and poppy sounding. It's still crazed lunacy in a tin but it's as easy on the ears as you're gonna get from these guys. At times it sounds almost indie and then it will spaz out all over your ears and make a big soggy mess. Fantastic fun......

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

ON THEIR LONG AWAITED SIXTH FULL-LENGTH STUDIO RELEASE MELT BANANA EXERCISE A HITHERTO UNDETECTED AREA OF THEIR MUSICAL MUSCULATURE: THE ‘ROCK’ REGION. SUMMING UP AN ENTIRE ALBUM, AND ONE AS DIVERSE AS BAMBI’S DILEMMA, WITH SUCH A PEDESTRIAN QUALIFIER IS RISKY BUSINESS, AGREED, BUT IT SEEMS TO FIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE. THE BAND, OF COURSE, REFUSES TO ACCOMMODATE ANY SUCH PIGEONHOLING: ‘MAYBE IT IS ROCK, BUT MAYBE NOT. WE JUST MAKE WHATEVER WE WANT. WE JUST FOLLOW OUR OWN INSTINCTS!’ THE TRUTH IS MXBX MAKES MUSIC AS THEY PLEASE, RELYING SOLELY ON THEIR OWN MAVERICK TALENT TO GET THEM WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. BAMBI’S DILEMMA’S EIGHTEEN TRACKS CAREEN FROM EXTREME, FASTBLAST ATTACKS TO MORE SERENE MOMENTS (USUALLY RESERVED FOR NONALBUM RELEASES) TO THE BAND’S REVOLUTIONARY NEW, GUITAR AND BASSLESS ‘THEREMIN-CORE.’ MELT BANANA WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE UK AFTER THE SUMMER! A HUGE PRIORITY FOR FORTE, MELT BANANA HAVE DELIVERED THEIR "ROCK" ALBUM, BUT ITS MELT BANANA "ROCK"..THE BEST THING SONIC ARTICULATION SINCE "CELLSCAPE"
