“Banana Split” brings a double exciting dose of an insightful musical expression. Full of energy and curiosity, TRUS! fill their side of vinyl with post-punk playfulness, indie-electronic mischief and seductiveness of trashy pop. Therefore, it’s simply impossible to put their musical expression inside the usual genre compartments and pull up obvious comparisons with other bands, which is just one more reason to cock our ears and simply spin the music. On the other side of the disc, kleemar took care of sentimental ethereal electronics which explore the subtle melancholic microambients and invokes a delightful atmosphere. Kleemar remains indefinable by genre, as well, as he draws influence from very diverse artists such as Mount Kimbie, Dan Deacon, Gold Panda, Four Tet, Album Leaf, Caribou…
Both sides of the cover are done in aesthetics of minimalism, and are a product of collaboration by kleemar and Črtomir Just, who playfully positioned the banana, so that the listener must first split it by themself.TRUS! have recorded their side in Vrtojba with the help of Vitja Balžalorsky, while Gredoč. helped with the mix and mastering. Kleemardid his recording with the help of Ivor Knafelj.
