Samurai Banana’s new Oh Shit / Just Tired video is also available at our channel

Samurai Banana’s Just Tired has been making the rounds, gaining some great reviews and allowing us to hear Banana talk about everything from ghosts & dreams to film & life. Let’s start with a pair of great conversations Banana has done behind Just Tired.

Unseen Underground with Steve Miller aka Unsung where Samurai Banana gets to do a deep dive on paranormal encounters, bizarre dreams and nightmares and his production and sentiment on the album.

Reel Notes with CineMasai has Samurai Banana breaking down his enjoyment of Cocaine Bear, being terrified by Jurassic Park, Karma Kids history, joining Uncommon Records and the creative process behind his album.

Both can also be heard via the Uncommon Podcasts playlist on Spotify.

In the meantime, the album has gotten incredible write ups from Arts Fuse, Ghettoblaster Magazine and Scratched Vinyl.

Here are a few selected quotes from the above:

“It shares the bleak sci-fi ambience of ‘90s albums like Techno Animal’s Re-Entry and Company Flow’s Little Johnny From the Hospital, which blended hip-hop and noise influences to unsettling, confrontational effect”. - Arts Fuse

“It’s deathly captivating but I think that’s the point. It isn’t easy to shut the album off at any one point because the songs all seem to be attached to one another, even if they move in opposite directions”. - Ghettoblaster Magazine

“It’s definitely an album that you’re going to want to really sit with an absorb one-on-one, where you can get lost in this sci-fi/horror-inspired soundscape and let your imagination run wild”. - Scratched Vinyl
