February 22 street date. Kero Kero Bonito’s second full-length album, Time ‘n’ Place, sees the three-piece English group expanding on instrumentation and song structure while holding true to their undeniable knack for crafting the perfect pop hook. Amidst changes in their personal lives, the band returned to the suburbs in 2017 and started writing songs on the instruments they grew up with. This shift in their writing process led to all three members performing as a band for the first time. The slick, MIDI heavy production found on earlier releases has subsided to now include heavily distorted guitars, a full drum kit, and the addition of more analog arrangements. Time ‘n’ Place is the band’s response to indie rock history and represents a new era for Kero Kero Bonito.

Please note: new street date is TBA. Kero Kero Bonito are a London-based experimental pop trio, comprised of bilingual Anglo-Japanese singer Sarah and producers Gus and Jamie. Having previously made college radio indie and viral Casio megahits, the six track "Civilisation" mini-album compiles the "lost world junk pop" of the band's "Civilisation I" and "Civilisation II" EP's. "Civilisation" was inspired by the art pop lineage of artists like Kate Bush, David Sylvian and Peter Gabriel, with a sonic palette informed by Warp's "Artificial Intelligence" series, homemade New Age music and early digital synth experiments. It was created entirely with dusty old musical hardware and uses both ancient musical tropes (pentatonic scales, minimalist repetition) and contemporary songwriting techniques to summon an out-of-time atmosphere that spans the past, present and future simultaneously. The songs tackle widescreen themes like psychological warfare (on the mystical polyrhythmic funk of "Battle Lines"), ancient mythology (on the energetic, melancholy synth-pop of "The Princess and the Clock") and the resurrection of the dead (on "Well Rested", the record's 7-minute psychedelic house closer).
