Kero Kero Bonito: Momentum
In January 2013, Sarah saw an advert for a rapper on an internet bulletin board. She applied and South London inter-school music friends Gus and Jamie agreed she was the best. They made a mixtape that Double Denim liked so much they had to release it again and then they toured round the globe.
Sarah’s mum comes from Japan and her dad comes from England, so she treats her parent languages as one. Gus and Jamie program MIDI modules for fun and study international pop charts. They picked the name just because it has a nice ring to it.
They have songs like “Flamingo” (body-positive cartoon flute R&B) and “Sick Beat” (gamer girl power rap bass). They employ a wide array of props in our live shows, as patrons of Glastonbury and old folks’ homes alike can attest.
Now they’ve finished their debut album, and it’s turned out just how they wanted.
