The song explores the theme of the Tarot and their Archetypes. In Aurélien’s words “The She in the song is the Anima, the unconscious feminine. I started learning and reading tarot for myself about 3 years ago. It’s Jodorowsky that inspired me to do so and later Jung’s work on Archetypes. This process with the cards is ultimately a way to connect with my intuition. I spent most of my life repressing my feminine side. I understand now that I was conditioned this way by school, my family, my environment. It brought a lot of confusion and fear in me because there were a lot of things that I couldn’t understand with my rational mind.  Fear to be vulnerable, fear of the unknown even fear of giving affection and love. This discovery was tremendous to me and also changed the relationship I have with women.”

“a psychedelic mesh that ultimately defies musical boundaries making 3 South & Banana stand out from his experimental psych-pop peers.”  The Line of Best Fit 
“If you’re looking for a sonic tonic to take you out of your comfort zone, this could be just what you need”  Shindig Magazine 

3 South & Banana is the musical moniker of Berlin-based, French singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Aurélien Bernard. Combining an increasingly distinctive knack for surrealist narratives, and super catchy lofi pop, Aurélien cites the main musical influences as Syd Barrett, CAN, The Kinks, Serge Gainsbourg, Harry Nilsson, Jorge Ben Jor  and the classic album Here Come The Warm Jets by Brian Eno.

The reputation of 3 South & Banana as a live act has spread, having recently supported The Comet Is Coming in Berlin, and the cult band Blue House in London. The 3 South & Banana live show is a solo multimedia/virtual band live performance, and has a distinct nod to mavericks such as David Byrne.
“I use projection technology as a virtual band. It was my desire to mix different forms of artistic expressions. I just love creating and the freedom it gives me . With my music and live performance I want to invite people to dream, to connect with themselves, to free their own creativity.”

3 South & Banana has been supported across 6Music,
with multiple plays from Gideon Coe, Don Letts and Lauren
Laverne, and widely tipped across the blogosphere
