Description:

An album of two EPs released in 2019 & 2021, this is an oriental ambient pop album with obi and commentary. The band is a three-piece from London, Kero Kero Bonito, who have gained popularity with their J-Pop x Electro sound. This is the first physical release of the band's EPs Civilisation I and Civilisation II, released in 2019 and 2021, in one package. The Civilisation series is inspired by the British art school pop lineage of Kate Bush, David Sylvian, and Peter Gabriel, WARP's early ambient techno, and new age/healing The content is cooked up in the Kelo Kelo Bonito style.The vintage synth tones, oriental melodies, and eccentric female VO remind me of YMO & Akiko Yano, and the 7-minute chill-out house "Well Rested" that closes the album is just like Dee Lit! It's exquisitely cool to listen to it now.
