While review sites are calling this the end of a hiatus, Japanese band Melt-Banana’s new noise/dance punk hit makes leaps and bounds in production that seem to be made with years of practice.The album explodes with the violent “Candy Gum” and doesn’t let up until the end of electro-influenced “Zero”. While a shift from their accustomed style, the album serves as both the best of Melt Banana’s work in terms of quality and accessibility for new fans.If you’ve no idea what noise punk is, this is as great a start for you as you’re going to get.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAdC2GtvgRA
