Yona-Kit

Yona-Kit was a math rock quartet active in 1994.

Background

A U.S.-Japanese collaboration, the group consisted of KK Null (electric guitar and vocals), Jim O'Rourke (electric guitar), Darin Gray (electric bass guitar), and Thymme Jones (drum set). All but Null were contemporaneously members of the group Brise-Glace.

Yona-Kit released one album, Yona-Kit (1994) on Skin Graft Records. The album was recorded by Steve Albini in Chicago in June 1994. The album's cover photography, featuring gigantic stuffed animals of various sorts, as well as bizarre lyrics (dealing with such subjects as dancing sumo wrestlers), lend a whimsical character to music that is often fairly brutal and complex. Yasuko Onuki, the singer for the Japanese band Melt-Banana, contributes vocals for one song on the album, "Franken-Bitch."

gollark: So feeding it 100KB of `a` requires *30* seconds, versus 4 for my 150KB list.

gollark: How is it *slower* if I just feed it 100 KB of formattingless `a`?

gollark: Maybe I should try some other test cases.

gollark: It has to avoid parsing stuff inside codeblocks and whatever.

gollark: Yes.
