video: Black Bananas - TV Trouble


I don't normally post NSFW tags because you should be working and not looking at videos on the internet, but this one is kind of gross. I didn't want to listen to a band called Black Bananas, but this album is actually kinda rad. (It's called Rad Times Xpress IV, so I guess I should have suspected that...) I'm not sure how to describe this album yet, though I guess you could call it psych rock, and I'd draw comparisons to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tame Impala, Dungen, Ariel Pink, and a healthy dose of Ween.
