Music Non Stop

Kent

Music Non Stop(RCA)

Sweden's answer to Radiohead, apparently. And the question asked of the Scandinavian country by Radiohead to provoke this answer was, evidently, "Could you, for
our own entertainment as much
as anything else, provide us with
a mediocre facsimile of our own swooping glumness? Or do you
just do beer and flat-pack furniture?" And what an answer from the slightly crap Kent lads,
a bit like a disco Mansun, if that doesn't disturb the grey corridors
of your post-adolescent laboratory with the sound of raucous and incredulous laughter. Stretching
a telegram's worth of a notion
over an obligatorily epic four-and-a-half minutes, it's a hollow wail and no mistake. And bland? It's
like watching beige paint dry on Brian Molko
