Kero Kero Bonito share new single "When the Fires Comes" ahead of fall tour

After experimenting with indie rock and shoegaze last year, UK trio Kero Kero Bonito are back with a new single and video, “When the Fires Come,”  that is a return to electronic pop, plus an ecological message. “’When the Fires Come’ is about the worldwide wildfires heralding the seemingly imminent climate change apocalypse,” say the band. “It was partially inspired by our experience on tour in North California last year, when we got caught underneath the smoke cloud from the Camp Fire.” The band add that the song’s video was shot on the hottest day of 2019 in Britain and that this is “the first song of a new project.” Watch the video below.

KKB’s fall North America tour with Negative Gemini kicks off October 3 in Nashville and November 17 in Mexico City. The NYC stop is 10/10 at Brooklyn Steel (tickets). All dates are listed below.
