Dolores Haze Don't Wanna See Your Banana

“I don’t wanna see your banana”, sings frontwoman Groovy Nickz, as the track takes on the topic of sexual consent and spells it out plain and simple. From there we are treated to array of witty one-liners and double-entendres about a particular male organ, that the group seem simply sick of seeing everywhere they go. Ever forward-thinking and outspoken, Dolores Haze, bring their murky brand of guitar music back with a new album planned for 2018 on Warner Music and a new song called ‘Banana’, inspired by the recent #MeToo movement. “We wanted to discuss an important topic in a fun and light-hearted way through this song. The video is directed by our drummer Foxy Sagz and had a choreographed dance we want everyone in the whole world to learn!!!”

Since releasing their stunning debut album, The Haze Is Forever, back in 2015, Swedish three-piece Dolores Haze have been solely on the offensive ever since. Described by The Guardian as having “an unfuckwithable attitude that makes them a force to be reckoned with,” the band now look to cement their legacy as one of Sweden’s most captivating outfits, they unveil the follow-up to their 2017 standalone release ‘White House’ with their eyebrow-raising new single ‘Banana’; a track that aims to echo the sentiment of the MeToo movement.

While it may have the sound of an upbeat alt-pop record, filled with high-powered production and a whistled hook, ‘Banana’ is a single rich in irony with a strong and powerful message at its core that follows the “thundering punk” sound of their previous releases.

“I might wanna talk to your mama (your ding dong dangle), I don’t wanna see your banana”, sings frontwoman Groovy Nickz, as the track takes on the topic of sexual consent and spells it out plain and simple. From there we are treated to array of witty one-liners and double-entendres about a particular male organ, that the group seem simply sick of seeing everywhere they go.

Yet despite a tough subject to find humour in, the outfit have managed to create a record that brings a smirk to your face over and over again, without the feeling of lightening the matter at hand. ‘Banana’ is simply the latest in a long line of irreverent releases from the group, and sees them in their sharpest state of mind yet.
