Noisey Premieres Kino Kimino Debut LP ft. Members of Sonic Youth

Kino Kimino is the brainchild of Kim Talon who plugged in with Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth to throw down the ten sweetly serrated, sometimes volatile, post-punk songs on debut album Bait Is for Sissies released June 3 on Wavves' label Ghost Ramp. Previously receiving accolades from Pitchfork to FADER, today the band is excited to share Bait Is for Sissies streaming in full exclusively with VICE's Noisey. We encourage you to post and share!

Kino Kimino recently played to a packed crowd in her current hometown of NYC. Fans across the globe will have their first chance to see the band live on an international tour which kicks off this weekend, hitting Chicago, Cincinnati and more, bringing it back to NYC on July 3. Full list of dates HERE.

With John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr., Hop Along) at the helm of production, Bait Is for Sissies was recorded at Sonic Youth's Echo Canyon West studio. The songs explore betrayal, violence and the feeling of being an outsider, a dramatized response to the end of a romantic relationship that was founded on deceit. Talon has toured with pop maven Sia and played with Deerhoof and Blake Schwarzenbach of '90s emo standouts Jawbreaker. Be sure to catch their captivating performance in a city near you!
