Personnel: Jim O'Rourke (guitar); Darin Gray (electric bass); Thymme Jones (drums).
Recording information: Chicago, IL (06/1994).
Yona-Kit introduces Zeni Geva's K.K. Null to some of Chicago's finest musicians: Null fronts a quartet featuring Jim O'Rourke, Darin Gray, and Thymme Jones (all of Brise-Glace, and various other projects), with Steve Albini producing and Melt-Banana's Yasuko O. dropping vocals in on "Franken-Bitch" (Melt-Banana have also worked with Albini and O'Rourke). The results aren't as noisy or abraisive as Zeni Geva, but Null's influence is felt heavily throughout the buzzy, all-out rock of the recording-- even on the closing track, a 23-minute exploration very much in the vein of Brise-Glace, there are broad touches of Null's signature scratch and grind. ~ Nitsuh Abebe

Option (1-2/96, p.125) - "...there's plenty of chug-chug riffage slung across these tracks, plenty of hard/soft transitions, plenty of unidentified noises. But there are also plenty of unusual musical touches..."
