Kangaroo? is the second collaboration between the experimental rock band the Red Crayola and the conceptual art group Art & Language, released in 1981 by Rough Trade Records. The album was reissued on CD by Drag City in 1995.
Reception
The Rough Guide to Rock wrote that the album contained "quirky, ramshackle songs." The Spin Alternative Record Guide called it "interesting, but ... sort of brittle and too intellectual for its own good."
Charles Hayward of This Heat stated, "But when they did Kangaroo? I just couldn’t get into it. Red Crayola went off into this thing of polemic with musical accompaniment. That's the way with stylistic movements such as punk, by the end they tend to cut off one part of your body and over-emphasise one other part. That's what happened to punk when it became post-punk."
