Jennifer Herrema’s Black Bananas return with “Eddie’s Album,” the second offering from their upcoming album Bad Bunch (Fire Records), which arrives on September 4, 2026. “Eddie’s Album” distills restless rhythm, hypnotic repetition, and deceptively addictive hooks into something both immediate and elusive. Driven by a kinetic pulse, elastic groove, and fractured pop instinct, it feels simultaneously futuristic and strangely familiar, another unmistakable Black Bananas radio-ready transmission operating just outside the expected.

Assembled across more than a decade, Bad Bunch is the group’s first album since 2014’s Electric Brick Wall and Herrema’s first release since Royal Trux’s White Stuff in 2019. The long-awaited return of Jennifer Herrema’s iconic vocals with her equally enigmatic group Black Bananas, now a three-piece band with Brian McKinley and Kurt Midness, arrives as an alternate-reality, spaced-out, jazzy-rock groove about limited menu items.

These three musicians first started their collaboration over 20 years ago under the name RTX (Herrema’s first post–Royal Trux band project) and are now a kinetically connected, freaky collective that busts through the algorithmic consciousness of the modern music ecosystem.
