Black Bananas: Herrema's Gritty, Glorious Return
2 Oct
Summary
- Jennifer Herrema's Black Bananas project delivers a potent mix of past and present sounds.
- The album is considered Herrema's strongest work since Royal Trux's peak era.
- Herrema evolved from Royal Trux through RTX to Black Bananas, blending influences.
Jennifer Herrema, formerly of Royal Trux, has unveiled a compelling new album with her project Black Bananas. Titled 'Electric Brick Wall,' the record is a potent fusion of past musical styles and current influences, all processed through a distinctively raw and unpolished sonic filter.
This latest release is being lauded by many as Herrema's most powerful work since the zenith of Royal Trux. It showcases her continued artistic evolution, a journey that has seen her transition from Royal Trux to fronting RTX, which incorporated a scuzzier hair metal edge.
With Black Bananas, Herrema continues to draw from a deep well of classic rock inspirations, injecting them with a contemporary relevance. The project's previous album, 'Rad Times Xpress IV' from 2012, was a complex and captivating blend of stoner grooves, flamboyant hair metal, and underground club aesthetics, creating a sound that was both messy and utterly compelling.
