DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Downbeat Electronica, Ambient LP With Star Guests Vocalists Including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes & Many More
Bonobo, AKA Simon Green, returns with his new album 'Distance in Static' — evoking fragments of memory and meaning echoed across more than two decades at the forefront of electronic music. The acclaimed British musician, producer and DJ — known for his richly textured, globally influenced sound palette — continues his long-standing tradition of inspired collaborations, featuring Joy Crookes, Ichiko Aoba, Nilüfer Yanya, Arooj Aftab, Nicole Miglis (Hundred Waters) and Aanya Martin.
Lyrics appear in English, Urdu and Japanese, while historic Iranian samples and guzheng recordings sit alongside Green’s own meticulously processed instrumentation, woven together across recording sessions spanning LA, Tokyo, London and beyond with a significant portion of the record completed at Neil Young’s legendary Broken Arrow Ranch in California. It’s a record that represents the culmination of over 25 years as an artist and DJ. A reminder, if ever one was needed, of Bonobo’s enduring influence — newly felt by a generation rediscovering ’90s genres through a contemporary lens. That duality — introspective composer and club-focused selector — sits at the heart of a body of work full of depth, detail and emotion: both beautiful and driving; as ambitious and forward-thinking as ever
It's now more than 25 years since Simon Green first emerged as Bonobo, and Distance In Static offers another reminder of why his music continues to resonate. So, what's different this time around? For starters, it still sounds unmistakably like Bonobo. Across the album's fourteen tracks, voices including Joy Crookes, Ichiko Aoba, Nilufer Yanya and Arooj Aftab appear alongside historic Iranian samples, guzheng recordings and electronics scrubbed of obvious origins that surface in wisps and fragments. Lead single 'Me And You' is probably the clearest statement of intent as he pairs an uplifting new wave sensibility with the slightly strange production touches that remain Green's calling card. In other words, it could only be a Bonobo album.

Last FM Information on Bonobo

Simon Green, known by his stage name Bonobo, is a British musician, producer and DJ based in Los Angeles.
Bonobo's first album - 2000's Animal Magic - was released via Tru Thoughts before being picked up by Ninja Tune. It announced him as a serious talent; able to bring a musician's edge to electronic music, with all the freedom that skill allowed. His subsequent albums for Ninja, Dial 'M' for Monkey and Days to Come, developed his sensibility, won him fans across the globe, and saw him develop his live show into a mesmeric re-working of his records.
He has also worked hard as a DJ, a part of Green's arsenal that perhaps truly came into its own at the same time as 2010’s Black Sands. 2012 saw him take the uptempo, club re-edits of Black Sands from a seminal Boiler Room performance in London to dance floors across the world, and unveil a new light show that further enhanced the impact of these stunning songs. A remix album was released featuring reworkings by fans and peers such as Machinedrum, Floating Points, Mark Pritchard, Lapalux and FaltyDL.
Later the same year, he finally settled down in his New York studio to write his fifth album. The North Borders was another long stride forward - both a natural evolution and a continuation of the electronic palette of Black Sands. With vocal features from Erykah Badu, as well as Grey Reverend (The Cinematic Orchestra) and Cornelia (Portico Quartet) it's another finely balanced body of work.
Bonobo has a long history of unearthing new talent (Andreya Triana, Bajka) and The North Borders saw him do so once again. The vocals of new collaborator Szjerdene are sprinkled across the album.
Since the album’s release, Green has gone on to play over 175 shows across three continents and 30 countries, wowing audiences with the hypnotic, extended live versions of his songs. He performed sold out shows at The Sydney Opera House and Brixton Academy, and his very own, day long festival at London’s Roundhouse. 2014 saw him and his band play the iconic Coachella, Sonar, Glastonbury and many more. This period of extensive touring came to a breathtaking close with his largest show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace in November. In celebration, Ninja Tune released The North Borders Tour. — Live. in October. A deluxe release including a live album, hardback book and a DVD of seminal live performances from a truly memorable tour.
In January 2016, Bonobo announced on Twitter that he intended to release a new album sometime in 2016. Bonobo released his sixth album, Migration, on 13 January 2017 via Ninja Tune. It was announced on 3 November 2016 with the release of the single "Kerala", and an official video. The album features Nick Murphy (fka Chet Faker), Rhye, Innov Gnawa and Nicole Miglis (Hundred Waters). Read more on Last.fm.
