Kero Kero Bonito - Break
KKB’s apathy-friendly single sounds effortless, but they’re flexing their pure pop muscle more than ever.
Looking back, it all seems a bit silly that Kero Kero Bonito were once pegged as PC Music contemporaries. Sure, they probably share a WhatsApp group with A.G. Cook - Gus Lobban is part PC alumni, as Kane West - but their shiny convention-flipping pop is shedding new ideas with every move. There’s nothing faddy about KKB’s pursuit - that much has been made clear in the last few months.
2016 hot-footed house number ‘Lipslap’ put forward a new agenda. ‘Break’ is another landmark moment, a slick pop ‘ballad’ with a keen eye for apathy. “There’s not much better than nothing at all / And that’s especially true, where there is something to do,” sings Sarah Bonito over a Billie-Piper-doing-Christmas-songs backdrop. It sounds effortless, but in reality KKB are flexing their pure pop muscle more than ever.
