Bananagun – Why Is The Colour Of The Sky?

This album is an electrifying return, bursting with the band’s signature psychedelia while embracing bold new directions. Recorded in tight, spontaneous sessions at Button Pusher Studio in Melbourne, the sound is delightfully organic—loose grooves, jazzy interludes, and rhythms that feel alive in real time. Across tracks like “Feeding the Moon” and “With the Night,” Bananagun layers flute, hypnotic guitar, and analog warmth into kaleidoscopic sonic textures, evoking both nostalgia and fresh vitality. The result is a record that pulses with creative energy, its brevity (just over 35 minutes) ensuring it never outstays its welcome.

What makes Why Is The Colour Of The Sky? especially compelling is its “pro‑human” spirit: the band’s chemistry and spontaneity are front and center. You can sense the band feeding off each other’s playing, embracing playful eccentricity and raw emotion rather than polished perfection. The album cultivates a sense of wonder—quirky, joyful, and immersive—and succeeds in sounding timeless yet alive in the moment. It’s an invitation to let go, groove, and rediscover the thrill of music as a warm, human exchange.
