Civilisation I is the fourth EP by British band Kero Kero Bonito. It was released on 30 September 2019, shortly after the single "When the Fires Come". The EP marks another change in terms of the band's musical style; eschewing many of the guitar-driven shoegaze influences of TOTEP and Time 'n' Place, instead drawing heavily on synth-pop and dream pop.[2] Lyrically, the EP explores concepts of society, war, religion, and environmentalism.[3]
Reception
Tom Breihan from Stereogum talked about the EP's "cold and measured, lyrics that tell a story about a corrupt government holding its population in thrall and about the need to fight back".[2] Noting that the record could be about the future following what happens after climate change, Dean Brandt of Flood Magazine said "If Time 'n' Place was about mixing up adolescent nostalgia, contemporary millennial malaise, and the daunting near future, Civilisation I blows up that timeline to cover the ancient past of primitive man".[4]
