| Banana Nightmare - Imperfections (feat. Kylie Fox) Rock, Pop, Electronic | 27/11/2012 |
Banana Nightmare is auditory cheesecake, a delightful evolutionary by-product exploiting the parts of your brain that allow you to interpret spoken language.
The lyrics are inspired by a friend's mother's appreciation of Brisbane area "Southbank". Now that it is no longer pristine and shows signs of ageing.. weeds growing through cracks, weathered stains on buildings. It now feels to her more welcoming, more human. Appreciating beauty through imperfections.
