    An album whose imagination is fortified and enlivened by the limitlessness of punk rock and musical experimentation.

    This is music for uncontrollable giggle fits, playing fetch with over excited border collies, and sledding down steep, snowy hills with your kids; this is music that makes you feel intensely alive.

    In the grand scheme of Japanese noise Melt-Banana’s the most playful but also perhaps the most refined.

    Each song on Fetch feels so meticulous and so conscientiously crafted, it's hard to listen to it without arriving at a cliched but undeniable truism: good things come to those who wait.

    Fetch finds the band a newly slimline two-piece in pursuit of fresh territory. [Jan 2014, p.102]

    It still might not--but fetch at least harmonizes more disharmoniously with the tenor of the times.

    Melt-Banana prove with Fetch that they can twist their peculiar universe into something more cordial, but one that forfeits a certain part of their penchant for risk.
