No, wait! Before you approach ambassadors at the United Nations with an expansive contract commissioning an extremely hip and multilateral studio album, just know that there’s at least one musical outfit already in existence satisfying your desire for cultural amorphism. Sarah of the London-based trio Kero Kero Bonito regularly switches between Japanese and English (with an English accent) across the band’s oeuvre, and the beats themselves, collaboratively crafted by additional members Gus (a.k.a. kane west) and Jamie, seem to be occasionally tinged by stock from early American hip-hop. What more can you ask for? People tragically brought up and now living in ethnic homogeneity need not travel with KKB coming through their speakers.
And stasis is even more acceptable now that KKB have announced their own travel plans! Typically, the shows that I go to are serious affairs, so it’ll be nice to witness a change in tone, as well as an evolution in personal dance style; I usually keep my knees separated when I’m busting a move.
To reiterate: this is their first North American tour. Check the dates after the essentially brand new track and after I link u 2 their still-solid mixtape.
