	microsuoni: Khonnor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Khonnor, the 17-year-old US-based wonderboy, first came to the attention of many through his cult internet-only EP releases as "Grandma" and "I, Cactus".
		Khonnor manages to make music with a rare endearing naivity which combines a dark sense of humour with a keen uncynical eye.
		Dreamlike digitally manipulated guitar noise and wavering synths form the foundation for most of the tracks, complimented by Khonnor's frank and open lyrics throughout, breathing life into his tracks with an ease and unforgettable beauty as he charts the ups and downs of teenage love, pocket change and lost hazy nights.

		And to tell you the truth khonnor is rather offended that his own as well as my revisions were removed, as they are rather factual.
		Keep, Khonnor became known to me after i had seen the MTV produced documentary series This Is Our Music [8], where the fourth episode in season two is about him.
		Khonnor might not be notable enough for most people, but he clearly qualifies under predetermined watermarks for notability.

	ATMOSPHERE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As I understand it, Khonnor Kirby-Long recorded his debut album Handwriting as a high-school senior in the rural United States, using little more than a laptop, a guitar and a microphone from a Japanese toy.
		Each of the succeeding tracks, like “Dusty”, reveals a different strain of Khonnor’s versatility within his limited means, lacing simple acoustic guitar progressions with flourishes of skipping synthesizers and fuzzed lyrics way more affecting than what one would generally expect to find in the pages of the average 17-year-old’s notebook.
		Very thankfully, Khonnor’s ambitions don’t exceed his talent at any point on Handwriting, as his treatment of nearly every element in the songs displays the virtuosity of a seasoned professional, coming off with an enviable feeling of ease.

		Khonnor, as he names himself on stage, might dress oddly, but not half as much as his laptop-operating mate, who wears a cutesy bunny-rabbit head-mask which looks more sinister than anything in Donnie Darko.
		A random cacophony of spooky sounds, thumping beats, mismatched samples and Khonnor's own frightfully distorted voice (but he keeps the mask on, so how do we even know he's singing?), it would take a pretty open mind to keep from walking out grumbling the paternal line about it being "just a racket".
		Yet much like similar artists such as Four Tet or Kid 606 (although Khonnor's a better showman than either), patient listening leads to an understanding of the forms at work in each song, and the creation of dark and industrial waves of mood offset by an inherent sense of playfulness.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Khonner: Handwriting
		Interestingly, Khonnor is also not about to be pigeonholed with troubled teen troubadours Oberst (well, once teen) and Patrick Wolf.
		Opener “Man From The Anthill” features a beautiful fuzz effect, with Khonnor asking, “Oh Jesus, won’t you hold me?” It’s not so much an actual plea as a melodramatic moment from a kid who was 17-years-old at the time; and though this lyric might suggest otherwise, the album is surprisingly light on the melodrama.
		At the same time, it’s a record that is obviously very raw in many ways, and, as such, it will either be fondly looked back on as the beginning of a long career for Khonnor, or unfortunately remembered as another footnote in the game of over-hyping a young musician before he's able to fully develop.

	version - the other music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Betraying a blatant adoration of classic indie and European glitch-tronics, the album is Khonnor's bedroom-built tribute to delicious angst, anticipation and anticlimax.
		Live, Khonnor becomes a trio, the prodigious Kirby-Long focusing on vocals and guitar.
		Whether Handwriting is a genius opening shot or a flawed indicator of coming greatness, seeing Khonnor live at version may well become one of those special "I was there when..." occasions.

	Big Chill - album khonnor electronic songs layers connor years tracks music name
		Khonnor) a 17 year old from smalltown Vermont who has created one of the most startling and memorable debut albums in years.
		This rings especially true when you consider Khonnor began recording it in his parents basement two years ago using nothing more than a guitar, an old PC, one speaker and a microphone he pilfered from a 'Learn Japanese' box set.
		There's no concession to the traditional songwriting formula in Khonnor's repertoire; in fact it could be argued he's rallied against this to such an extent it’s detrimental to certain songs.

	Roskilde Festival
		With his debut album in 2004, released at the age of 17, he con.rmed that the description “infant prodigy” is an understatement in his case.
		As a beautiful extension to the masters and role models of indietronica, such as My Bloody Valentine and Fennesz, Khonnor deals with prevailing problems, but he keeps a distance behind a velvety layer of noise.
		Khonnor’s low-voiced vocals revolve around hopeless moments of sexual frustration and lost love, and he creates the finest slow motion melancholy to strike the teenager in all of us.

		Just like the other Conor of the moment (Oberst), Khonnor seems to have emerged from (literally) nowhere to critical acclaim and excitement for anyone who...well...anyone who gets excited about this type of thing.
		Appearances on the bizarre Iron Chef (google it, and you'll see what I mean), and a storming early evening set at this year's Roskilde haven't exactly hurt him either, while Handwriting (released earlier this year) is an artful mix of mournful romanticism and almost-there lyrics.
		Khonnor really is the kind of chap who makes you wonder what you've been doing with your life- after all, if he can make the perfect night album with minimal equipment, then why can't we?

	Khonnor - Handwriting
		In the case of Khonnor, that talent comes from a seventeen year-old who has been no stranger to the courtroom in recent years.
		That he has managed to craft one of the most original debut albums of this century between homework and teenage angst is remarkable.
		Khonnor is a highly effective vocalist too; the cheap microphone he uses actually lending his delivery a cracked-up, dreamy quality.

	Comments for Khonnor - Handwriting - Stylus Magazine
		Ultimately, Khonnor's age is a detriment to the way his music is perceived: it's so easy to dismiss his credibility as an artist because he's so damn young.
		I also agree that the noise is sometimes overwhelming, though I think Khonnor uses it to conceal the fact that he's doing all this amazing work with a $10 mic and his PC.
		one of khonnor's greatest talents is his ability to make some of the most jarring and disagreeable sounds beautiful by virtue of what they're hiding - heartfelt, nostalgic structures and lyrics that signify a sort of abbreviated genius.

		If I said that Khonnor's music was creative, radical, thought-provoking, or at all like his press blurb, I'd be lying.
		If living in your parents' basement at 16 (or 17) and churning out electronic sounds for an exclusive audience of collectors is remarkable in any sense, I'd have been a superstar years ago.

	'Handwriting' is a transcendent experience - Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This music Khonnor concocts falls somewhere along the vast landscape stretching from trailblazing IDM artists like Fennesz and Dntel to heartstring-pullers Death Cab For Cutie and Oberst's outfit, Bright Eyes.
		Much of Khonnor's script admittedly reads like notebook marginalia, scrawled during a moment's afflatus in one of the high school classes he purportedly hates (in fact, the young man cheekily declares in the liner notes that "no portion of this album's profit" will go to his high school).
		Although vindicated to an extent by his youth, Khonnor blunders from time to time, particularly when he mars otherwise gorgeous arrangements with needless high-pitched vocal distortion.

	Hartford Advocate: Khonnor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It is Khonnor's morbid world, we are just living in it, and, apparently, taking up way too much space.
		Khonnor, a resident of rural Vermont, forges a relationship between computerized, electro-juiced feedback, spotty acoustical cuts and haunted, looping vocals.
		The result is sort of a grainy conglomeration of cavernous church music and ultra-modern digital crunch.

	The Other Music Update
		This album is the work of 17-year-old wunderkind Connor Kirby-Long who created this record in his bedroom with an old PC from the '80s, a free microphone that he acquired from a Spanish tutorial, and one single computer speaker.
		Khonnor takes his cues from shoegaze-era Creation records (especially Slowdive), Fennesz's Endless Summer and the Morr Music roster, and what he has created is unlike anything else around right now.
		Khonnor's lyrics are that of lost love, longing, confusion about the world, and everything else in between.

	Are you familiar?: November 2004
		I was sent some MP3s by this kid out of Vermont, going under the name Khonnor, and I was blown away.
		I'm not one to believe too deeply in the soul, re-incarnation, or intense spirituality, but Khonnor seems to be channeling the essence of Slowdive through a mid-80s PC speaker.
		Using primarily digital editing tools and some antiquated electronics, layered with electrofolk acoustics, the sound he's achieved is both familiar and unique.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Khonnor: Handwriting
		And while his voice, a little waffling and nasal, can't touch Julee Cruse's pixie-girl soar, the songs underneath the manipulation are more immediate than those on Pluramon's very like-minded Dreams Top Rock.
		It's possible that Khonnor's wall-of-static gamble was a necessary cloak to hide his limited resources.
		He uses an old PC and a mic from a Learn Japanese box set, so releasing his songs unadorned probably didn't align with the epic notions he scribbled on trigonometry notebook margins.
