TOTEP (erroneously spelled out on the spine of some physical releases as The One True EP[2]) is the third extended play by British band Kero Kero Bonito, self-released on 20 February 2018.[3] The EP marks a departure from the "sunny" electropop of previous releases in favor of a "grungier, guitar-heavy style, full of crunching distortion and glitched out noise."[4] The EP was preceded by the single "Only Acting",[5] which was later featured on the band's second studio album, Time 'n' Place (2018).[6]

Critical reception

Anna Gace of Spin opined that the songs on the EP "feel a bit sketched-in, but they also suggest that KKB see a future where they're not just cranking out delightfully goofy bubblegum dance-pop."[7] James Rettig of Stereogum wrote, "The new songs cycle through grunge-y, power-poppy, and dreamy, and they're all great and demonstrate the versatility of KKB's sound."[8]

Following the group's signing to Polyvinyl Records, the EP was issued physically for the first time and charted at #6 on the Top Heatseekers chart.
