Black Bananas, “Rad Times Xpress IV” (Drag City, 2012)
Jennifer Herrema has been making cool, fun underground rock for nearly a quarter-century, and this is one of her wackiest, most exhilarating releases yet, returning some of the deconstruct-on-impact space-electronica of her work with Royal Trux to the one-woman arena-metal revival she’s been conducting for the last few years. The result at times resembles a jam session between Funkadelic, Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Kylie Minogue and Throbbing Gristle.
