@@R-H-B She literally sounds like every "basic bitch" people talk about, it's the "Karen" archetype, which is exactly what i meant, but maybe you weren't paying attention.
@@countinfinity776 you sound really patronising mate. I don’t get it at all, shes just a normal woman with a cute persona. Is it her accent you don’t like or smthn?
Gus is genuinely the most wonderful person in the music scene, for me. Maybe that's because since he is British like myself, and not only has similar tastes to me but also a similar background and the same accent, but I just think he's so great and interesting to listen to, and so talented too. He also just seems so genuine, wholesome and inteligent. Props to you Gus, you deserve all the respect and admiration in the world! From a UK fan :)
This is such an interesting interview. It's really cool to me that simple, wholesome songs like Trampoline and Flamingo would come from such articulate and intelligent people. I really have so much respect for these guys.
Underneath all the cheery, poppy upbeat songs of Bonito Generation is a pretty consistent theme of young adult anxiety (and longing for your childhood).
also Taylor, considering how good she is at doing interviews and I would love to hear more insights about the two recent albums she put out cause a lot of people enjoyed the record (even Anthony)
I think this interview goes way better than most of the interviews do. The band seems genuinely excited to talk about stuff, where is a lot of the groups to get interviewed seem like they have a checklist of what they need to talk about. Even guests I like, like BROCKHAMPTON, it never gets loose and meanders… it’s always pretty tight to the topics at hand. I don’t know Just something I notice
I’ve listened to kkb for quite a while but never really got to know anything about Gus. Thanks to this interview I now know he’s actually the coolest person on the planet
Casablancas, Albarn, now Bonito??? This is AMAZING!!! Let's get King Gizzard in here and then we can all die happy. (Jokes aside this was a wonderful interview as always, saw most of it on Twitch!!)
Seriously, he’s killing it lately... I hope he gets bigger and bigger names on here so it becomes a bigger platform. But hopefully when that happens, fantano still interviews upcoming new artists...
This is one of those things I've been waiting years for; I'm so glad it's finally here! Watching my favourite music UA-camr interview one of my favourite bands of all time is just something that makes me smile.
Only the hardest-hitting music industry journalists would DARE ask an artist about their favorite Pokémon! Well done, sir. (I’m also willing that CharliXCX interview into the universe.)
I really feel that question broke the ice too. They were a lot more comfortable with each other after that and it was more enjoyable to watch. And yes we need a charli interview!
46:35 tbh that's actually really spot on, the way i got to know kkb was, i was listening to death grips and after the specific song i was listening ended it played kkb only acting, i got interested, heard the song and liked, then i listened the album and then their whole discography, when I noticed I was obsessed with their music and it was all thanks to the algorithm i suppose.
Interesting, i've been thinking about how "i'd rather sleep" have some similarities with time n place, taking that approach to nostalgia and kind of melancholyc sound. Personally i think these guys are pretty unique and his ideas are kind out of the box, actually his music and lyrics surprise me at first and i think theres more layers about his artistic expresion. Im excited for what comes next, after all, i like the way that his style change and how they nailed this perfectly.
ok there is no way this is a coincidence. i watched a video of kero kero bonito doing a cover of i seen footage by death grips and now anthony fantano just pulls up with this interview? wtfff
Fantano being all friendly with the gaming questions, we all know you’re just plotting to show up at the Kero Kero Bonito house and wipe the floor with them in Smash
It's really cool what they talked about with how consoles used to contain synthesizers. Like even the Sega Mega Drive contained a Yamaha chip very similar to the one in a DX7, and in the 90s, if you bought the newest Soundblaster card you just bought a better synth for your video games.
Hey bud! Great content, just wanted to say this that's off-topic: what about the band The Knife? Are they underrated? Do people know about their album Silent Shout? Its phenomenal from start to finish. The whole layout and flow is perfection. The way she sings and her lyrics are some of the best shit I've ever heard. Top 20 albums of all time, Silent Shout by The Knife. Okaybye
The kkb/death grips things is hilarious. I have a screenshot somewhere of Google Play Music actually recommending Death Grips because I listen to kkb lol.
kero is cool but kero is way cooler. bonito is pretty chill too
Took the words straight out of my mouth
ur the guy with the flamingo

As far as I know kero and kero are twins.

i would be happy with a zach hill interview already, plus i think that's more possible even
but what about the seatbelt guy?
What do you mean, this is a Death Grips interview

I don´t want a Death grips interview. I rather keep the mystery and mystique. If they would accept I would think they now suck
can't believe you could get kero, kero and even bonito in on this one good shit antwan

alright gus i know this is you

With how many video game references are in their songs, I was surprised to see Sarah has not had a console since the PS2.
Doesn't she play BOTW on stream?
Is the switch not a console to her😢
@@joshuakoppes3665 she said the PS2 was her last console before the switch
Do not own a console doesnt mean you cant play. Plus I bet the guys had.
This is such an interesting interview. It's really cool to me that simple, wholesome songs like Trampoline and Flamingo would come from such articulate and intelligent people. I really have so much respect for these guys.
Exactly. KKB is underrated
Trampoline is about bouncing up from downs in life.
Underneath all the cheery, poppy upbeat songs of Bonito Generation is a pretty consistent theme of young adult anxiety (and longing for your childhood).
I got my gf into KKB with Trampoline. Stuck in her head.

for real i was genuinely laughing at some moments and i don't do that often.
I think somewhere in the middle, Anthony ditched the script or something
If by "the band" you mean Gus and only Gus, then yeah, totally.
But seriously I enjoyed it too
Gus talking about the Earthbound soundtrack was legendary. Such an underrated ost, glad it has been getting a lot more recognition recently
The crossover we've waited tears for, and it's finally here. I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm not disappointed whatsoever.
Hello :)
Awww, Sarah's favorite pokemon being Rapidash matches that one crossover song with Macross 82-99
Fantano introduced me to this band and I've been obsessed since so for that, I am thankful.
For real
what'chu think now
Gus came in and just started spitting some good insight to their music damn
It's surprising how amazingly conceptualized their music writing is
the way sarah didn't remember the name of her own EP 💀

Not a fan of their music but these people are really cool and have a genuine passion and love for music, nothing but respect and great interview tano
Hope he interviews Thom Yorke in the future
It’ll be Anthony asking Thom “Who’s in a bunker?” for an hr
now that would be immense
Sara is so cute awe
Anthony, kidnapping Sarah Bonito and forcing her to sing the chorus for Trampoline the entire video isn't an interview
Didn't expect Gus to be the most talkative one. Lol

Thank you for this. Need thundercat next too!
This is the best and wholesome interview ive seen! 😭
I loved hearing Gus talk about his inspirations and stuff, it was super super interesting. Thanks Anthony and KKB
This is congruent with my interests
nothing hit harder than gus mentioning the earthbound soundtrack while i was playing earthbound

Little by little, step by step, we're getting close to Death Grips Interview
Don’t know why you kept asking which ones are the Keros and who is Bonito? Bit strange
Battle Lines and The River still on heavy rotation

They’re right about the technical algorithm, right after listening to the Civilisation II EP, spotify suggested On GP lmao
