Just when you think it’s all over, along comes something completely unpredictable – in this case, a modest but uncompromisingly original confection that mixes latin brass arrangements (sort of), great drumming, medium wave radio and the many characters of the accordion. Simplicity, complexity, surprise, familiarity -and all without undue fuss but adding up to something exotic and new. Radio Banana is a record that wears its heart plainly on its sleeve. It doesn’t play by genre rules, or fashion rules; it’s just someone’s idea of music – not sampled or assembled out of parts, just played, the old way, by human beings.’ (Chris Cutler)
