Glasgow-based band Speak Easy Circus is gearing up for the release of their latest single, “Gros Michel,” slated to drop on Friday, 21st July. At first glance, the song might seem like an ode to bananas, but it goes much deeper, shedding light on the exploitative practices within the banana industry and our complicity in it.

The inspiration for “Gros Michel” struck songwriter Jack Avison during his exploration of videos and documentaries about this seemingly ordinary fruit. What he uncovered was disconcerting—the shady dealings of corporations like La Chiquita, a stark contrast to the widespread love for bananas.

However, “Gros Michel” is more than just a song; it serves as a powerful catalyst for awareness and action, urging listeners to reflect on the ethical consequences of their choices. Blending a mix of indie, jazz, funk, and more, Speak Easy Circus crafts an enthralling and genre-defying sound.
