Kero Kero Benito are back with a new song. Out of nowhere. I'm shocked. But also like 'Well, this IS how they do'. They don't ever let people know when shit is dropping. You find out shit is dropping when the damn thing been dropped.
KKB's new song "When the fires come" could be seen as a response to the Amazon looking like Death mountain, global warming or the Rapture - which can't come soon enough, because bitch...dis life. The video looking like a cross between Rey scavenging in Star Wars: The force awakens and Wall-E, this is a clear commentary on how we treat the Earth like trash and we all gon' die in flames because of it.
I'm really hoping they drop a remix or a sequel to this called "When the ice caps come".
Kero Kero Bonito's second album Time 'n' place had a whole new sound which was completely different from what KKB started out with. (See "Make believe" for a taste). It was still Pop, but far more thrashy, Brit-Pop inspired and a bit Beatles-eque in places.
"When the fires come" however is a major lean back to KBB's original sound, but retains the pensive songwriting style that they shifted into for Time 'n' place.
This song gets a thumbs up from me. Is "When the fires come" reminding anybody else of Sonic the hedgehog or is that just me? Play it on playback speed 2 on YouTube and tell me it don't sound like some Sand type zone from a Sonic game.
