The London trio Kero Kero Bonito is dedicated to the power of radically creative pop. On their early singles, 2013 mixtape Intro Bonito, and 2016 debut album, Bonito Generation, the band combined Sarah Midori Perry's lighter-than-air vocals and Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled's production into bright, shiny songs indebted to J-pop, video game music, and dancehall. Though their style evolved quickly, shifting to the moody, punk-inspired territory of 2018's Time 'n' Place and the complex electronic art pop of 2021's Civilisation, Kero Kero Bonito's music always put equal weight on innovation and emotion.
