Re: the tradition of deadpan British vocals, Sarah constantly reminds me of Trish Keenan

I love everything about this band. Their recent carefully constructed "mythical" vibe reminds me of the KLF in the best possible way.

I’ve decided this is the best song of the year 2021.

I just watched this recent “live” show of theirs, and discovered they did a great KKB-do-2-step remix of Metronomy last year. Unfortunately it’s not another 7 minute journey clocking in at 3 mins only.

Civilisation vinyl (both EPs on one mini LP) finally landed, so getting fully immersed in these songs now. Bits of the record remind me a bit of Going For The One or Tormato-era Yes, there’s that same density of sound and willingness to embrace the cosmic. The rate KKB are evolving and improving is quite startling.
The sleeve art is something else too. Black symbols on a white background with text in a strange font that vaguely resembles hieroglyphics - which carries across to the lyrics on the inner sleeve too (thus rendering them largely incomprehensible even after you’ve worked out which letter of the alphabet each symbol stands for).

Not sure what the competition is, but "21/04/20" has to be the greatest song written about COVID quarantine

I'm surprised and relieved they aren't more common. Though I enjoyed "The Virus Diaries" i heard about on the Orbital thread here. otm though. Hands up if you're also "ok you know the usual kinda weird"!

Yup. "Last night's pasta in a tub, out the fridge for lunch and breakfast" too

Kind of lame, IMO, cannot escape the fact that I'm listening to an advertisement for shoes. But what the fuck do I know, I loved the Bugsnax song.

aaaa better late than neverSarah's EP as "Cryalot" is great, and not a big departure for KKB fans
