TOTEP

Kero Kero Bonito

A sharp pivot from bubblegum to basement grunge. Distorted guitars and glitched noise collide with deadpan vocals to explore the artifice of performance.

It's like your favorite childhood cartoon suddenly started melting and playing grunge music.

A tense and thrilling collision of polite pop sensibilities and destructive noise-rock impulses.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition in track 2 where the pop structure literally breaks apart into a terrifying loop of digital feedback.
The heavy, sludge-influenced guitar riff that anchors the middle of the third track, signaling a total departure from their synth roots.
The eerie, atmospheric synth pads that open the EP, creating a sense of ritualistic dread before the drums kick in.
