1 BANANAGUN
Bang Go The Bongos
Nicholas Van Bakel’s Melbourne crew start us off this month with the opening track from their debut album, The True Story Of Bananagun - a grooving, Technicolor concoction inspired by Tropicália pioneers Caetano Veloso and Os Mutantes. Van Bakel speaks on p27.
2 SAMANTHA CRAIN
Pastime
The Choctaw-American singer-songwriter returns with A Small Death, reviewed on p28, her first album since a car crash temporarily rendered her unable to play a musical instrument. “Pastime” is a yearning, stately highlight.
