Bravado is the third studio album by Australian musician Kirin J. Callinan. The album was released by American record label Terrible Records on 9 June 2017.
Background[edit]
The album was first announced on 26 April 2017, alongside a music video for "S.A.D.".[1]
In an interview with Under the Radar, Callinan compared naming the album to making "a big empty statement", and that his ideas became "confusing and disorienting".[2]
The cover of the album depicts Callinan urinating on himself.
Reception[edit]
Andrew Street of The Guardian used the phrase "kidding on the square" to describe Callinan's music, while describing the album as dazzling.[3] Anna Gaca, writing for Spin, called the album unusual.[4]
Canadian magazine Exclaim!, however, critiqued that the album lost focus and compared the music to mashing keys on a keyboard.[5]
