"3+5" is the ninth studio album by Japanese noise rock band Melt-Banana, released on August 23, 2024. This album marks their return after an 11-year hiatus since their last full-length release, "Fetch" (2013). Known for their intense and unique blend of noise rock, experimental rock, and hardcore punk, Melt-Banana continues to push boundaries with "3+5" by delivering fast-paced, chaotic, and exhilarating tracks. The album is characterized by its frenzied pace and dense arrangements that combine elements of hardcore punk, hyper-pop, electronics, and avant-garde noise. The nine-track album, running just over 24 minutes, is packed with energetic and unpredictable compositions. Some notable tracks include "Code," "Puzzle," "Case D," and "Scar," each offering a different mix of rapid guitar riffs, electronic beats, and Yasuko Onuki's distinctive vocals. The sound is described as both frenetic and jubilant, embracing extremity while avoiding the typical tropes of aggression often associated with the genre
