“MARK SUPPANZ reviewed New Haven trio KD's second and third LPs in issue 66 last year Apparently, the group disbanded this April, but this farewell split 7" bares what we lose. The Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention influence is writ large- as Suppanz noted, they once played Germany's Zappanale festival - with a comic sensibility as heightened and hyper as their arrangements' endless gear-shifting, plus constant surprises such as a Jello Biafra-like appropriation of the Sesame Street theme, that compete with the shock-parody cover art (a cereal ad send-up, with Toucan Sam dying in an oil slick as a little girl eats black crude!) . Whereas Manchester's BP's (ha!) ode to anti-depressive/anxiety meds abuse plays a more streamlined, but equally oddball post-punk, showing why they scored support slots with The Fall and Pixies in England in 2008-and probably blew minds.”
Jack Rabid - The Big Takeover

“Space Orphans is characterized by jagged, stop-start rhythms, spiky guitars, and frenzied, caffeine-fueled vocals, with all three members blurting absurdist, Frank Zappa-inspired lyrics (not surprisingly, they were once selected to play Germany's annual Zappanale festival). The band saturate their noisy, souped-up rock with a healthy dose of reckless abandon and a raw, unpolished, and in-your-face sound. Dudes continues in this vein, only with improved, punchier production and tighter playing. Although they're still wild 'n' crazy, they've toned down their experimental features, sometimes resembling a cross between Big Black/Shellac, The Didjits, and Dead Milkmen. They have the chops to undertake any style that suits their fancy, like the bouncy sing-along "Song For Brian," the silly Milkmen-ish "Gary Goober," and the surf/ spy-inspired rocker "You Only Die Twice." Fans of avant-garde, off-kilter, and just plain fun, devil-may-care rock should find both albums to be a treat. ”

“This record is awesome. Brilliantly off-kilter...”
Craig Gilbert - Verbicide Magaizine

“While the rest of humanity is figuring out a way to be the next band to sound like the 34th generation of watered down pablum that crimes Dave Matthews, Shinedown, Hatebreed, Sabbath, Rush, or who-the-fuck-ever, these cats plainly don’t give a toss and are letting the shit just flow out of ‘em..”
Craig Gilbert - Verbicide Magaizine

“Both records feature loud and proggy moments, pysch hard rock for fans of such artists as Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and The Hold Steady. It’s party rock with an edge and an intelligence. There’s wit and wildness just swimming around in Kimono’s music”
Patrick Ferrucci - New Haven Register

“On both discs, the New Haven-area trio's muscular, freewheeling, occasionally spastic, often arty and sometimes perverse rock music is in fine form”
Brian LaRue - New Haven Advocate

“Their "cosmic art rock" is your doctor's number one recommended prescription against banality and sanity. Take in loud doses. They're more addictive than crack, but at least you won't lose your teeth”
