Banana Skin Shoes is the ninth studio album by Badly Drawn Boy, released on 22 May 2020.[1] The track "Is This a Dream?" was released in January 2020.[2] Gough called the song "a sound collage of chaos and confusion to reflect the ridiculous times we live in... A deliberately cartoonesque sonic poke in the eye, to those in whom we place trust, yet instead supply constant barrage of misinformation followed by bad decisions."[3]
