Bonobo - Distance In Static Bonobo

Bonobo aka Simon Green returns with ‘Distance In Static’, his new album out September 11th on Ninja Tune. The record is announced today alongside new single “Me and You”, a club-driven track that has been road-tested to great effect in his recent DJ sets including two road-block pop-ups in London and Paris, with fans clamouring for an ID. Alongside this he also reveals a brand new Bonobo Live show – designed by Pierre Claude, renowned for his work with Air, Gesaffelstein, Phoenix, and Caroline Polachek – kicking off this November with a headline run across North America. See here and below for full routing and ticket details.

Across ‘Distance In Static’, Green collaborates with a typically striking cast of artists including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crookes, Nilüfer Yanya, Ichiko Aoba, 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, where he holed up for several weeks earlier this year.
