Kairon; IRSE! is a progressive rock and shoegaze band from Finland.[1] According to Guitarist Niko Lehdontie, the band's name "means nothing" and is "just meant to be as annoying as possible."[1] Lehdontie has compared the band's sound to Gentle Giant, Todd Rundgren,[1] the Flaming Lips, and My Bloody Valentine.[2] The band has also been compared to King Crimson, Ornette Coleman,[3] Fairport Convention, Jon Anderson, Utopia, and Dream Theater. Clash Magazine has called Kairon; IRSE! "kind of an accidental cult success".[4]
