Kero Kero Bonito

About

Kero Kero Bonito aren’t just making music; they’re building sonic worlds. This London-based trio, fronted by the bilingual Sarah Midori Perry, blends J-pop’s sugar rush with the raw edges of indie rock and the playful experimentation of electronica. KKB’s early work, brimming with Casio keyboards and Perry’s whimsical vocals, initially drew comparisons to PC Music. However, they quickly carved their own niche, evolving from the hyper-cute sound of "Bonito Generation" to the introspective indie rock of "Time 'n' Place," a sonic shift marking a notable maturation. Collaborations with artists like Spies Like Us have further showcased their versatility. Their 2024 album "Civilisation III" continues their world-building trajectory, exploring complex themes through their signature blend of accessible melodies and experimental soundscapes. Kero Kero Bonito’s influence extends beyond music, permeating internet culture with their distinctive aesthetic and forward-thinking approach to genre. They are a band constantly redefining expectations, always one step ahead of the curve.
