Kero Kero Bonito - Dump

from the album Time 'n' Place

Show the man a pass and
Everything you've got
Go to where he points and
Throw it all on top
Hear the crunching beneath of junk let go
A parrot cage and dial phones

Blue for small electrics
Microwaves in here
Television pieces
In a rusty skip
But be careful if you brought chemicals
They've got a place especially for those

And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep

Everybody's collage
Stacking up the wall
When the sun is out the
Scent gets pretty tall
But the site operators don't care much
They're looking forward to their lunch

And when we fill it up
A lorry comes and drags it on the tarmac
Somewhere far from here
So when they let us in
At six a.m.
The spaces are empty again

And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep

never thought i'd almost cry listening to a song about trash being thrown away

[tamarov]

The riff at 1:05 has been stuck in my head for days. It's just amazing

[tippythegoonchsnatcher]

This sounds like the type of music you put on at night in a city while the moon shines down after a long day

[fannybrown]

this is the song that most stuck out to me when this album came out. i was going through a really bad depression and listened to this almost every single day then. things are a little better but it's weird listening to this now.

[smonkk]

the bit about the parrot cage is so sad

[FrHorrigan]

oh my god they're just dumping everything. bless you.

[Brutalious]

This song is a prime example of why this album feels so wintery even when its not the intention.

i think i like this one the most. it's grey skies and a muddy, clangy racket off in the distance somewhere. i loved the dump when i was a kid, i used to collect old keyboards and electronics and crack them open when i got home to learn how they worked. and i hear that vibe really clearly in the song itself and it brings me back to happy times

so weird thinking this came out in 2018.. i saw them in november of 2018. was an amazing show, got a water bottle from sarah, wish they would tour again. crowd was so nice too. so genuine, miss that year :(

[gusforyou]

kkb gets even more fantastic... Now it is more as poetry.
The form is 6, 6, 3, 6, 6, 3 alternating the rymes.. ABACBD, ABACAB, ABABCC
Cool patterns

[coolmanjack]

Kero Kero is so cool :(

I love the synth on this song that sounds like squeezing syrup out of a bottle

[suner]

this song has been the soundtrack of the inside of my mind for the past 4 years its just so beautiful and sad and wow

[xXLaLaKittyXx]

this song gives me an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, probably one of my favorites off time n' place.

[caualuiz]

Not even 24 hours since they released the album and this is already one of my favorite songs of the year

[Doctor-Infinite]

This song feels like that unexplainable lethargic feeling you get buying groceries at 3 in the morning

[notfound]

This song feels like something I can’t describe, this is what makes it a masterpiece

[frogfan]

I like the full 30 seconds of ambience at the end

[Nill_GMD]

idk why is this not the most popular song of the group. this is very good

[JonathonJDog]

Those dreary guitar chords hit so fucking good

[SirCommoner]

Wow, one of my favorites on Time n' Place. So atmospheric, hard hitting and compositionally really cool too. Super jazzy and original, idk
