Kero Kero Bonito 's Bonito Generation was not only the cheeriest pop record of 2016 but also one of the year's best. Spend 10 minutes with the trio's hyper-caffeinated, but no less thoughtful electro-pop and your day is automatically brighter.
Every week in May, the U.K. band will release a remix of its music done by other artists, starting today with Frankie Cosmos . Frontperson Greta Kline's straightforward indie-pop songs are similarly short, sweet and a little bit sad, and her band's take on the song "Fish Bowl" is more of a charming cover than a remix. They lean on the "oh oh" chorus while dialing-in a watery keyboard melody and even tackle a section sung in Japanese.
