Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut mixtape by London trio Kero Kero Bonito pairs vocalist Sarah Midori Perry, recruited through an advertisement on the MixB bulletin board for Japanese expatriates, with schoolfriends Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled, who produced its 15 tracks. Many songs were written on a Casio SA-46 mini keyboard, and the singles 'Homework' and 'Sick Beat' promoted the release. 'I'd Rather Sleep' went viral on TikTok years later, and Gorilla vs. Bear ranked the mixtape the 46th best album of the 2010s.
