Nufonia Must Fall is a romantic tragedy in graphic novel form, by one of the world’s most renowned DJs. Inspired both by silent films and comic books, this unique work has been published by ECW Press in conjunction with Ninja Tune. In Kid Koala’s words, "It’s about this robot who’s trying to write love songs to get the attention of this girl. But he’s a robot so he can’t sing, and so it’s kinda hard to write love songs. But there’s adventure. There’s some action. There’s some drama. There are some sweet moments. There are some scary moments. . . it’s all there."

The book comes with an original CD soundtrack, with ten exclusive tracks composed and performed by Kid Koala. "The tracks are associated with actual scenes in the book," Koala
explains, "it’s the theme music for the book. And the book is very visual. There are barely any words, it’s all pictures – so it’s kind of easy to read with the music playing. It’s all piano and alternative turntable instruments, so it’s not like words or beats or anything."

In beautifully shaded black and white illustrations, the story about a robot and the workaholic girl he falls for is a robot self-help tale, mixing a touch of The Little Prince with a taste of Albert Camus, a little Woody Allen, and a hint of Gary Larson. The first silent paperback film of its kind, the delightfully eccentric Nufonia Must Fall will appeal to the scores of existing Kid Koala fans as well as the not-yet-converted; to comic book fans as well as film buffs and music lovers.
