We have entered phase 4 of KKB... "Bonito Apocalypse"

[@gandhianastacio4644]

then comes "bonito singularity" where it's _supposed_ to be a bunch of different songs about how robots took over the *_inferior_** humans* but it ends up being a bunch of noises put together into one song (because it's a singularity, remember) with no human voice

The synth solos are up there with some of the best I've ever heard. Just massive.

[@cheese70007000]

Absolutely, who in their right mind ends a solo so 'horribly' at 3:26, god damn those boys are genius's. I've always wanted more huge synth solos ever since that solo in Intro Bonito

[@duckface524]

Heavy prog vibes

[@sunbear_413]

I totally agree.. The transition from relative silence into the second synth solo actually brings me to tears. I don't know if that's ever happened for me from a synth solo before lol. It really does such a great job of slamming the lyrical impact just before that solo into your face.

[@yamato.takeru.no.mikoto]

tbh, the theme Time 'n' Place was going for is better off without japanese lyrics. this new stuff appears to be ancient/mystical sounding and I really enjoy the japanese in these songs so far.

[@valeriobuda7409]

@@yamato.takeru.no.mikoto yes it's like ancient technological music inspired.

[@jonah-yano]

this song sounds like it's on it's tippy toes

[@KimiJimiJames]

This song badly needs some kind of crazy epic high-budget beautifully animated music video that ends with all the characters drowning in a flood. There are so many moments where you can just imagine the story unfolding.

[@blasborg]

U kinda got your wish for the new civ II songs !

[@themelnova]

I would pay every penny to my name for this (not even enough for 4 mcnuggets)

[@XiaoKerr]

Came back after listening to “Well Rested”. Civilisation has been a wild ride guys.🤯🤯

[@alantarazona]

One of the best songs I've ever heard, this sounds straight out of FFVII and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (which I believed inspired the Final Fantasy series to being with). This is one of KKB's most profund and emotional songs, the beat is beautiful and Sarah's lyrics got me crying here (and I think I'm a cynical dude), we gotta preserve this planet.

[@elliecronin6404]

So much imagery from Nausicaa its unreal

[@xmlthegreat]

The plight of the tribal poor in the modern day told in the form of a tribal myth... I love how beautiful this is.

It reminds me of the underground theme in Mario 64

[@yoplait3256]

Could see this in a game like abzu that focuses on walking and discovering things along the way

[@mindlessdirective]

Insane to see KKB continue to evolve in composition, melody and transitions. This is some of the strangest pop in ages. Prog metal, breakbeat, chiptune RPG and tech metal vibes.

[@Kompet_Pejwan]

Kkb back with japanese lines omg "international tanoshi sound intensifies"

[@Terapagos3000]

Dude lol I've heard this song so many times but never heard the japanese. Just noticed and came here to see if someone else noticed, because I've tried looking the lyrics up and they only show the english lyrics. I'm also so happy of that, as much as I loved Time N Place I really hoped they'd come back with english/japanese lyrics because it's just a perfect mixture.

[@leemsky]

[@nyanekoboypurinsu]

YES, JAPANESE LYRICS, OMFG The backing vocals really do add to the SLAPP factor of this track

This song stopped me in my tracks. Their willingness to experiment demands the utmost respect. They are fearless.

Ah yes, a new, _refreshing_ song.

[@ignaciocontreras5968]

This is by far their best song. Sarah's vocals on KKB are really underrated.

[@syntheticgerbil]

Holy shit, I love this. I got into Kero because of the sound of Time and Place, very old style British Pop XTC feel, but this is actually more into the electronic music I usually like. I like a handful of songs from their original style, so I feel for fans who really liked that stuff and it's just been abandoned, but I don't know I think it is totally worth it for this evolution!

[@blunt005]

that synth is very nice
