Year Of The Banana is the stalwart indie band Rubblebucket’s 7th full-length recording. Frontperson Kalmia Traver says “People get obsessed with the albums that were never finished because the band couldn’t stay together. But Year Of The Banana is the album that did get finished” –– evidently against all odds and only with the support of “mediators, hypnotherapists, psycho-therapists, life coaches, business coaches, recovery groups, guided hallucinogens.”
Rubblebucket’s seeds were sown when Kalmia Traver and Alex Toth, the group’s front persons, co-writers and co-producers, first began a friendship as jazz students at the University of Vermont. Soon after, they formed Rubblebucket, using the project to delve into pop, funk, dance and psychedelia; performances have spanned Bonnaroo to Glastonbury to their self-curated Dream Picnic Festival, and they’ve collaborated with kindred genre-blenders including Arcade Fire and Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears. Their latest full-length LP ‘Year of the Banana’ is perhaps their deepest and grooviest work yet. It speaks to the power of transforming and adapting relationships in a time when the world needs it most.
