    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.

    Sane comparisons elude Melt-Banana, but your mouth will froth and your tail will wag every time you Fetch.

    These 12 songs run a mere 33 minutes, but cover a lot of musical and thematic territory.

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

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

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

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

    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.

    It’s the sound of the world crumbling from overdoses of exhilaration, and it’s as rowdy and psychotic as we’ll all be in those final moments.

    The thrill of Fetch is in its precision, its Bachian joy in maths. [Dec 2013, p.54]
