Cover Notes: To say that the intervening four years since the arrival of their debut album had been tumultuous for Melbourne/Naarm's Bananagun would be an understatement. Released during the height of lockdown in the summer of 2020, the group were forcibly 'scattered' following the release of 'The True Story of Bananagun'. Australia's ultra-strict lockdown rules - declaring it illegal to travel beyond a 5km radius - made it nigh on impossible for the band to get together at all, with the only rehearsals requiring them to sneak past military checkpoints undetected. This climate of upheaval does not go unheard on the band's long-awaited follow-up, 'Why is the colour of the Sky?'. While it's by no means a pessimistic work - far from it - it's an album that departs from the ultra-slick bursts of sunshine-pop and afrobeat that defined 'True Story. ', and muddies the waters with a heavy blend of incendiary jazz and freak-beat experimentation. It's Bananagun alright, but braver, bolder and more mysterious than ever.

Extras: Limited edition opaque red coloured vinyl.
