Some Kind of Telling

by Banana

about

infanttree.bandcamp.com/album/some-kind-of-telling

After a cassette release under their own names on moremars label in 2021, MP Hopkins and Alexandra Spence solidify their continued collaboration with a new work on Infant Tree, as 'Banana'. Providing the simple text 'Blowing into playback remembrances. Rescription. Some kind of telling.' Banana seem to improvise in space, with considered timing, to-hand objects and bursts of feedback, voice and hidden instrumentation. The tape rings of previous solo releases of theirs such as MP Hopkins' solo LP 'Blue-Lit Half Breath' on Penultimate Press or Alexandra Spence's 'a veil, the sea'.
I hear nods to the 'Onkyo' scene in the whistling, bare tones and stark spaces. Comparisons to works by Akio Suzuki & David Toop seem plausible, but fail to capture the unique and captivating head space these pieces put you in. A playful dance between escapism and the everyday.

Recorded and mixed by Banana on Wangal land, Sydney, 2023.
