Kieronononon - Three Man Party EP - EP Review

Allegedly, Kieronononon are the best thing to emerge from Hull since Dean Windass. A comparison to a 40-year-old footballer of limited ability and bovine physique would seem somewhat misguided, but herein lays an example of the band’s rather arbitrary attitude to self-image. An elusive proposition they may be, but Kieronononon are at least identifiable by their broad oeuvre and obvious vitality. A freewheeling brand of mischief permeates the grungy Three Man Party, and the absurdity of a couplet like “don’t forget the cake/it’s a chocolate cake” is effective in a primal sort of way. The emphasis on obscure ramblings curtails the impact of the EP, but Kieronononon's musical promiscuity shows a refreshing lack of vanity.
