Content to throw the album announcement hype cycle in the trash and forget about it, Kero Kero Bonito have returned yet again again with their third surprise release in a row.
Almost a year to the day since they jumped from out behind a corner with Time ‘n’ Place, the bilingual art-pop trio have burst out of a comically large cake with Jesus Is King the Civilisation I EP.
As the current situation of the world turns more serious, so to do the themes of KKB’s music. Religion, the apocalypse, social division, climate change: they’re all covered on Civilisation I in only three tracks. 1.3 (repeating) themes per song! What more could you want?
Listen to “When The Fires Come” off of Kero Kero Bonito’s new Civilisation I EP down below. OR, like, the whole thing is out NOW via Polyvinyl; go check out the WHOLE THING HERE.
Civilisation I EP tracklisting:
01. Battle Lines
02. When The Fires Come
