{"product_id":"melt-banana-teeny-shiny-lp-65503520031","title":"Melt-Banana - Teen Shiny [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMelt-Banana describe their third self-released album as \"pop and nice,\" a claim to which numerous incredulous subscribers to the band's mailing list have replied, \"No pop!\" and \"Extreme, please!\" This angular Pythagorean-core HC quartet supposes that the words \"pop\" and \"nice\" have slightly different nuances those outside their native Japan are failing to see; perhaps they mean \"pop\" not in the Celine Dion sense, but in the Andy Warhol sense, \"nice\" not as in smashing a bunch of garbage together and expecting fans to swallow it out of habit, but as in well-crafted, hairball mania. Even as the band acknowledges that Teeny Shiny is punk, noisy, screeching, and fast, they steadfastly maintain that it is pop and nice for them. Though a mad scientist from 2788 has given vocalist \/ lyricist Yako a heart the size of a lion's (engorged with futuristic steroids) and her voice goes spitting and whizzing above it all as 5,000 volts surge through her skinny torso; and given that the mad scientist has screwed with guitarist Agata's brain so that his guitar-playing resembles a synth and two turntables; and taking into account the Melt-Banana rhythm section's ability to keep up with a machine gun demonstration without breaking a sweat - conditions that all apply to Teeny Shiny, fictionalized or not - they're not backing down from the assertion that their new album is pop and nice. Sometimes you just gotta trust people.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree the Bee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash Cube, or Eyeball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost in Mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Contact to Planet Q\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp, Back Spin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird Attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCub, Not Cube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlip and Hit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright Splat (Red Point, Black Dot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkit Closes, Windy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoon Flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"39","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50564875256104,"sku":"65503520031","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/345313.jpg?v=1763986006","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/melt-banana-teeny-shiny-lp-65503520031","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
