Josh Wink to release new LP, "When A Banana Was Just A Banana"


Let me just get the disclaimer right out there: I've never been a huge fan of Josh Wink. However, I do know a fair number of people who will be excited to hear this news. And, well, it's not all about me, is it?

Back on topic, Josh Wink has just recently announced the release of his forthcoming, interestingly titled LP, When A Banana Was Just A Banana. This will mark the Philadelphia-based DJ/producer's fourth studio album.

Wink, who is already known for his eclectic style, seems to be making an even more outspoken statement against the dangers of "pigeonholing" in the electronic music genre.

“In a nutshell, it speaks really of the loss of innocence of music," Wink starts. "Music was just music when I was growing up. Nobody was ridiculed or had views of ‘I only listen to this one kind of music’, I grew up listening to everything. Today, so many people tend to only listen to one style of music with a strong opinion of why. I miss the innocence of how it was, like when you were younger, ‘A Banana Was Just A Banana’.”

True dat Josh Wink!

When A Banana Was Just A Banana is due to be released February 2009.
