Kero Kero Bonito - Trampoline

If Kero Kero Bonito have proven one thing it’s this; with enough pop-chops on your side, it’s quite possible to write an A* banger about any topic going. In the time they’ve been around the South Londoners have covered: flamingos, graduation ceremonies, the merits of cats versus dogs, party invites, forest adventures, and now, trampolines.

Over appropriately buoyant bursts of synthesiser (this is a song about jumping, after all), Sarah Bonito’s feeling a bit under the weather, and then she remembers she’s got an old trampoline lying around in the back garden. Such is the KKB way, she enlists said trampoline to propel herself above the grey clouds, and when the stratospheric heights eventually get a bit lonely, she invites all her mates along to bounce, too. Argos’ health and safety might have something to say regarding numbers, but that’s besides the point. “Even if you’re falling, that’s ok, there’s a trampoline waiting for you,” she soothes in spoken word, before the juddering Nintendo-effects return. It all sounds a bit like the latest Care Bears motivational cassette tape - which, by the way, is a good thing.
