Black Bananas set to release first album in over a decade
After a hiatus since their last album in 2014, Black Bananas, fronted by Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux and RTX, are making a comeback. The band has recently signed with Fire Records and announced the upcoming release of their new album, Bad Bunch.
Little information has been revealed about Bad Bunch, other than its anticipated release sometime this year. However, Fire Records shared that Herrema is working on creating a retail space that will be tied to the album. This space will showcase unique and upcycled items, limited edition art pieces, accessories, and materials collected over the years, forming a visual representation of the band’s journey.
In 2015, Herrema took on the role of curating a soundtrack for an art installation, enlisting the talents of artists such as Kurt Vile, MGMT, and Hot Chip. She also lent her expertise to the Avalanches’ 2016 album “Wildflower” and participated in a reunion of Royal Trux a few years later, which was not without its fair share of controversy.
The band’s unique blend of music and artistry has always set them apart, and their upcoming album release is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike. With Jennifer Herrema at the helm, Black Bananas continue to push boundaries and experiment with different genres, creating a sound that is truly their own.
As the details of Bad Bunch continue to unravel, fans can expect a one-of-a-kind experience that not only encompasses the music but also incorporates visual elements and unique pieces that reflect the band’s creative vision. The combination of music and art has always been a hallmark of Black Bananas, and their newest project is sure to be a testament to their innovative and eclectic style.
With the announcement of their signing to Fire Records and the upcoming release of Bad Bunch, Black Bananas are poised to reclaim their spot in the music scene and captivate audiences once again. Stay tuned for more updates and information on this exciting new chapter in the band’s journey.
